FIG. 1.

Comparison of the TprC and TprD loci protein sequences of T. paraluiscuniculi with the TprD2 sequence of T. pallidum. TprC-C, TprD-C indicate the TprC and TprD alleles of T. paraluiscuniculi, respectively. A, NH₂-terminal region; B. central unique and COOH-terminal regions. Identical residues are indicated by black shading, and nonsynonymous changes are indicated in gray or no shading, respectively. *, frameshift position in T. paraluiscuniculi Tprs (TprC-C and TprD-C A ORFs, amino acid position 147); TprD2, sequence from GenBank (Accession number AF217541).
