FIG. 6.

Genome organization for CipA and CipB gene clusters. The arrangement of CipA and CipB with respect to downstream genes is indicated. The arrangement of analogous gene clusters in L. monocytogenes (Lmo2196 to -2192), B. subtilis (Bsu1144 to -1148), S. pyogenes (SPs0221 to -0225), and S. enterica serovar Typhimurium (STM1746 to -1742) are shown for comparison. The ORFs and intergenic distances are drawn approximately to scale (the bar indicates 100 nucleotides). The information on the bacterial genes was modified from reference 4, and the sequences were taken from the website http://comb5-156.umbi.umd.edu/genemate/.
