Relationships among putative phage-encoded virulence factors identified in the genome of strain MGAS315. (A) Dendrogram showing relationships among superantigens. Mature secreted forms of the superantigens or superantigen-like proteins were aligned with clustalw using default parameters, and a dendrogram rooted with TSST-1 was generated with macvector. Red, streptococcal proteins; black, staphylococcal proteins. (B) Dendrogram showing relationships among MFs and streptodornases. Red, proteins encoded by the genome of strain MGAS315; black, proteins encoded by the genome of strain SF370 or MGAS8232. Subscripts refer to the phages encoding the proteins.
