Analysis of ESX, sigma factor and tRNA genes in MCAC-members. (a) ESX related genes. Presence (blue) and absence (white) of ESX related genes in different mycobacteria as indicated in the phylogenetic tree shown to left (see also Fig. 4b). ESX related genes present in M. stephanolepidis NJB0901 is shown below, see main text. (b) Sigma factor genes. Heat map showing presence (red) and absence (white) of sigma factor genes in MabsATCC19977, McheT, MsalT and Msal-likeCCUG64054. The signature for the respective sigma factor genes correlate with the naming for MtbH37Rv sigma factor genes43. The horizontal and vertical trees represent the heat map clustering of the column and row wise dendograms. (c) Predicted presence of additional tRNA genes in MCAC-members. Gene synteny for a tRNA gene cluster encompassing nine genes in MsalT (seven in MfraCCUG64054). The tRNA genes are marked in red and the vertical boxes marked in brown highlight homologous genes. Note the presence of the HNH endonuclease gene (marked in gray) located within tRNA gene clusters (see main text). See also Figs S1a and S9a.
