Schematic representation of the kimA and kup gene context in E. faecalis V583 and JH2-2 strains (a) The genes depicted by arrows encode the following proteins, the cation efflux protein (MntE, 389 residues), the KimA transporter (608 residues), the acyltransferase protein (GnaT, 154 residues), the glycine/betaine/carnitine/choline ABC transporter (OpuCD, 220; OpuCC, 307; OpuCB, 211; OpuCA, 397), the glyoxalase family protein (GlyF 296), the S-adenosylmethionine-RNA-t ribosyl transferase-isomerase (QueA, 343), the fragment of a putative transcriptional factor cro/CI (82 residues), the cation transporter (CaaT, 881 residues) and the transport Kup. The two copies of IS6770 (gray boxes containing an orange arrow) delimit the formation of a putative composite transposon in JH2-2 strain indicated by the dotted lines. (b) Locus tag of the genes described.
