Chaperone-Usher Fimbriae of Escherichia coli
Figure 2
Locus positions of chromosome-borne CU fimbrial operons relative to the genome of E.coli MG1655.
The E. coli K-12 MG1655 chromosome (outer black ring) was used as a reference map to visualise the locus position of 30 chromosome-borne CU fimbrial types. Types highlighted in blue are present in E. coli K-12 MG1655, types in red are absent in this strain. Fimbrial types associated with PAIs are indicated by an asterisk. A number of PAI associated fimbrial gene clusters occupy different locus positions relative to the MG1655 genome. tRNA sites that flank CU-containing PAIs are indicated on the inner blue ring.
