a

The domain names indicate the following Pfam entries: BLUF, PF04940; Cache, PF02743; CHASE7, PF17151; CHASE8, PF17152; CHASE9, PF17153; CSS, PF12792; CZB, PF13682; EAL, PF00563; GAF, PF01590 or PF13492; GAPES1, PF17155; GAPES2, PF17156; GAPES3, PF17154; GAPES4, PF17157; GGDEF, PF00990; globin sensor, PF11563; HAMP, PF00672; LuxR, PF00196; MASE1, PF05231; MASE2, PF05230; MASE4, PF17158; MASE5, PF17178; PAS, PF08448 or PF13426. An “x” in front of a domain name indicates an enzymatically inactive or highly divergent domain. The Pfam entries for new sensor domains are to appear in the 29th release of the Pfam database (48).

b

An integral membrane domain.

c

Predicted periplasmic domain.

d

Asterisks indicate designations used for homologous genes in other genera or species as follows: adrA, Salmonella (occasionally, adrA has also been used for E. coli); tpbB, Pseudomonas aeruginosa; hmsP, Yersinia.

e

ETEC, enterotoxigenic E. coli; ExPEC, extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli; NMEC, neonatal meningitis E. coli; EAEC, enteraggregative E. coli; TM, transmembrane.
