TABLE 2.

Sizes of the polypeptides deduced from the sequenced S. caprae ica genes and the amino acid identity to those encoded by ica genes from S. epidermidis ATCC 35984 and S. aureus ATCC 35556 strains

Polypeptide designation	Size (amino acids)^a	% Identity to polypeptides of^b:
Polypeptide designation	Size (amino acids)^a	S. epidermidis	S. aureus
IcaR	190	77	68
IcaA	412	88	82
IcaD	102	73	65
IcaB	289	72	66
IcaC	358	84	78

For all the predicted polypeptides except IcaC, the sizes reported are those of 96007 (accession number AF246926). Since 96007 icaC is interrupted by a stop codon (nt 3743 to 3745), the size of the predicted polypeptide IcaC of strain 89318 (accession number AF246927) is given.

Accession numbers are U43366 for the S. epidermidis ica gene and AF086783 for the S. aureus ica gene.
