Figure 1. Wolbachia contains two potential homologs of the Ehrlichia type IV secretion system regulator EcxR.

Figure 1

(A) Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequences of EcxR and homologs from wBm (wBmxR1 and wBmxR2), wMel (WD1304 and WD0931), Anaplasma phagocytophilum (ApxR), and Rhodopseudomonas palustris (2o83_A). The alignment was generated using TCOFFEE ClustalW (http://tcoffee.vital-it.ch/cgi-bin/Tcoffee/tcoffee_cgi/index.cgi) and displayed with BOXSHADE (www.ch.embnet.org/software/BOX_form.html). Identical (shaded black) or conserved (grey) amino acids present in at least two of the seven sequences are indicated. The positions of amino acids predicted to form a helix structure and β-strand are shown below the alignment and modeled using the 2o83_A structure. (B) Phylogenetic tree analysis of EcxR and various homologs. Branch length was generated using ClustalW (http://align.genome.jp/sit-bin/clustalw).
