Figure 2

Sequence of FimA from A. odontolyticus strain PK984. The PK984 FimA sequence was compared to FimA from A. naeslundii genospecies 1 strain 12104. Identical (*), conserved (:), and similar (.) amino acids are indicated. Marked are the N-terminal signal peptide (bold typeface) and peptidase cleavage site (arrow), pilin motif (grey box lined with single line), a proline-rich region (grey box), E box (grey box lined with double lines), and an LPXTG motif (grey box lined with dashed line). The motifs/domains are also present in A. naeslundii genospecies 2 (not shown).
