From: Evidence for methionine-sulfoxide-reductase gene transfer from Alphaproteobacteria to the transcriptionally active (macro)nucleus of the ciliate, Euplotes raikovi

Figure 4

Comparative structural analysis of the Euplotes raikovi msrAB gene with the MsrA and MsrB coding genes of Thalassobacter arenae , Sinorhizobium meliloti , and Sphingopyxis alaskensis. ORFs are represented by arrows pointing to the direction of transcription and extending between the indicated nucleotide positions. Red, green and blue colors highlight MsrA, MsrB and LysR-transcription regulator ORF, respectively. Gray and black bars indicate regions of bacterial genes with 70 and 73-75% of nucleotide sequence identity with msrAB gene, respectively (see also Additional file 4: Figures S3-S5). Inter-ORF bars indicate non-coding regions and their relative extensions, while the filled boxes in the msrAB gene indicate the telomeric ends. T. arenae, S. meliloti and S. alaskensis sequence GenBank accession numbers are GCA_000442275.1, CP003936.1 and CP000356.1, respectively.
