Figure 1. Protein alignment of the various Ail proteins.

Figure 1

Ail from Y. pestis strains KIM5 ands CO92 and five Y. pseudotuberculosis isolates, IP2666 and YPIII, are shown. The two variant amino acids; positions 43 and 126 are highlighted. The arrow indicates the predicted processed cleavage site. The putative extracellular loop regions are indicated with black lines. The alignment was performed with the MegAlign program from Lasergene. KIM5, YPIII and IP2666 ail were sequenced in our laboratory. PB1/+, IP31758 and IP32953 ail sequences were obtained from genome sequencing projects. YPIII (Yang et al) refers to the YPIII sequence reported previously [30].
