LytTR Regulatory Systems: A potential new class of prokaryotic sensory system
Fig 5
Comparison of LRS operons among diverse prokaryotes.
A set of three representative operons matching to each of the five S. mutans LRS was randomly selected from the master table of putative LRS (S3 Table) and illustrated for comparison. In each set of three operons, their descending order in the figure is indicative of their relative homologies to the corresponding S. mutans LRS (Top = high homology, middle = medium homology, and bottom = low homology). Open reading frames are drawn to scale and color-coded as follows: LytTR Family regulator (brown), LRS membrane protein (blue), ABC transporter (yellow), and other ORFs (grey). ORFs are numbered according to the terminal portions of their respective NCBI Gene Locus Tags. Species and Gene Locus Tags are listed from top to bottom as: St (Streptococcus troglodytae; SRT_xxxxx), Ra (Rothia aeria; RA11412_0xxx), Pr (Pseudobutyrivibrio ruminis; CSX00_RSxxxxx), Sa (Streptococcus anginosus; SAIN_RS0xxxx), Lp (Lactobacillus plantarum; LPST_RS0xxxx), Oo (Oenococcus oeni; OEOE_0xxx), Sp (Streptococcus pantholopis; A0O21_RS00xxx), Bf (Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens; G624_RS01100xx), Am (Anaerosporobacter mobilis; BUB90_RSxxxxx), Sc (Streptococcus caviae; BMI76_0xxxx), Cs (Clostridium sciendens; CLOSCI_RS0xxxx), Ct (Chlamydia trachomatis; ERS095036_xxxxx), Sr (Streptococcus ratti; SRA_0xxxx), Sc (Staphylococcus carnosus; VV61_0xxxx), and Ta (Thermoplasmatales archaeon; TALC_RS0xxxx).
