The ESX-1 locus. (A) Comparison of ESX-1 loci of M. tuberculosis, S. aureus, L. monocytogenes EGDe, and other Listeria species as indicated. Protein homology percentages relative to L. monocytogenes EGDe are indicated under each corresponding encoding gene. (B) Schematic representation showing membrane topology or soluble character of proteins encoded by the L. monocytogenes, S. aureus and M. tuberculosis ESX-1 locus. (A and B) Genes and proteins are colored following the same code: red corresponds to WXG100 encoding genes or proteins predicted to be secreted to the extracellular medium; blue indicates genes predicted as encoding soluble cytoplasmic proteins; yellow is related to genes or proteins predicted as transmembrane proteins.
