FIG 1
Circular comparison of tet(X)-bearing sequences and protein alignment of Tet(X) variants. (a) Comparison between tet(X3.2)-bearing plasmid pSE1-3-9kb, tet(X3)-bearing plasmid p34AB, and other similar sequences in the nr database. The outermost circle denotes the reference plasmid pSE1-3-9kb, with arrows showing the predicted coding sequences. (b) Comparison between tet(X2)-bearing plasmids pSE1-3-20kb, pSE1-3-14kb, and other similar sequences in the nr database. (c) Alignment of Tet(X3.2) reported in this study and other Tet(X) variants generated using ESPript 3.0 (9). A secondary structure based on the Tet(X2) protein (PDB number 4A6N) served as the structure reference.
