FIG 8.
Conserved Domain Database (CDD) analysis of representative Vip3 proteins. The same sequences as those shown in Fig. 4 were used. CBM, carbohydrate-binding motif; ApbA, ketopantoate reductase motif; Tar, methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein motif; COG1511, motif of a predicted protein membrane of unknown function. TIGR03545 represents a relatively rare but broadly distributed uncharacterized family of proteins, distributed in 1 to 2% of bacterial genomes.
