Figure 2: Enlarged view of part of the chromosome. This figure reveals the mosaic structure of the genome. ACURs (narrow yellow rectangles) alternate with genes from mobile genetic elements (large red rectangles with insertion sequences shown in striped white and red rectangles) and with genes that fit the standard Markov model for R. solanacearum genes. An Ala-tRNA gene is at the end of the last ACUR. This region contains genes encoding two candidate type-III secreted effectors (RS02429 and RS02460), three haemagglutinin-related proteins (RS00436, RS02405 and RS5936) and a Vgr-related protein (RS02437 and RS02439) inactivated by insertion of ISRso1. Colour codes for other genes are given at the bottom of the figure and correspond to the main classes defined in the nomenclature of ref. 46.
