Figure 1.
Cyanobacterial dnaE gene loci. Each line shows the dnaE gene locus or the loci of dnaE1 and dnaE2 split genes from one species, except for the top locus that is identical in all three listed species. Gene protein‐coding regions are shown as rectangles with an arrowhead at their 3′ ends. The dnaE genes are shown in dark grey with the split intein parts in black. Other homologous genes are indicated by similar patterns – there are only two such pairs, between Nostoc species PCC7120 and Prochlorococcus marinus MED4, and Nostoc species PCC7120 and Nostoc punctiforme. Gene names or functions are indicated where known. The distance between the split dnaE genes in each species is indicated where known.
