Fig 2. The modular structure of the TP0856 and TP0858 genes among completely sequenced treponemal strains.

A. Please note the differences between sequence patterns of TPE Kampung Dalan K363 and the other TPE strains, the TPA Sea81-4 and the other TPA strains, and TPE and TPA/TEN strains in TP0858 gene. The r3 sequence (in TPA Sea81-4), r4 sequence (in TPA and TEN strains), r5 sequence (in Kampung Dalan K363 and TPA Sea81-4) and r6 sequence (in TEN Bosnia A) within TP0858 or TP0856 genes resulted probably from intra-strain recombination events. B. A list of repetitive (r3, r4, r5, r6) and non-repetitive (unique) sequences (r1, r2, r7, r8, r9).
