Figure 2From: The origin of a novel gene through overprinting in Escherichia coliPhylogenetic distribution of yaaW and htgA overlapped genes. Phylogenetic distribution, open reading frames of overlapped genes, and protein domain organization of coded protein sequences according to Pfam database. ORF structure: Open reading frame of yaaW sequences is shown using left oriented dark-gray arrows; genome-annotated htgA sequences using right oriented black arrows; predicted htgA genes in this study right oriented pale-gray arrows; non-coding open reading frames right-oriented hatched arrows. Pfam domains: Pale-gray boxes indicated [Pfam:UPF0174] Pfam domain present in yaaW protein products; dark-gray boxes indicates GTPase domain of unknown function [Pfam:MMR_HSR1]. In the yaaW gene coding for [UniProtKB:Q8FLC7] the predicted htgA gene is shorter due to a non-sense mutation. Complete names of proteins are given in Additional file 3.Back to article page
