FIG 1 .
Schematic representation of the ebpABC-bps locus of E. faecalis OG1RF. The locus consists of three genes, ebpA, ebpB, and ebpC, encoding the pilin subunits, and bps, encoding a class C sortase. The putative promoter region (with the −35 and −10 promoter boxes), the predicted transcriptional start (+1), the predicted ribosomal binding site (RBS), the ATT postulated start codon, and the ATG annotated start codon are shown. The positions of the two successive stop codons introduced to generate strain TX5751 are also shown.
