a
Medline identification numbers are given for each protein.
b
The similarities in the N- and C-terminal domains were compared with the corresponding domains of OprF from P. fluorescens MF0 and calculated with the Blast program (http://www.infobiogen.fr). Values are percent homology.
c
The proline-rich pattern is indicated in bold type. Conserved cysteines from the cysteine- rich pattern are indicated in bold underlined type.
