rtxA1 gene structure. (A) Schematic representation of rtxA1 gene from pv. piscis L2-clade E and L1-clade T (rtxA1 L2-clade E and rtxA1L1-clade T) (B) Comparison among the rtxA1 genes of the clades and lineages emerged in the Eastern Mediterranean. The images were constructed with Easyfig and the blue scale indicates nucleotide Blast similarity. Carboxi and amino terminal modules are coloured in grey, cysteine protease domain (CPD) in turquoise, Domain X (DmX) in pink, ExoY-like adenylate cyclase domain (ExoY) in black, makes caterpillars floppy-like domain (MCF) in orange, alpha/beta hydrolase domain (ABH) in purple, Rho GTPase-inactivation domain (RID) in green and domain of unknown function at the first position (DUF1) in yellow.
