C. burnetii CvpA (CBU0665) contains a eukaryotic-like LRR domain and multiple endocytic sorting motifs. (A) Schematic of CvpA (328 aa, 38.0 kDa) showing the LRR and distribution of dileucine (DiLeu) and tyrosine (Tyr) endocytic sorting motifs identified using the Eukaryotic Linear Motif resource for functional sites in proteins (www.ELM.eu.org). (B) CvpA amino acid sequence. Consensus dileucine [DERQ]XXXL[LI] and tyrosine (YXXΦ; Φ, amino acid with a bulky hydrophobic side chain) endocytic sorting motifs are shown in boldface type. The amino acid sequence of peptides used in GST-30mer pull-down assays are underlined, and the LRR sequence is italicized.
