Expanding the Diversity of Mycobacteriophages: Insights into Genome Architecture and Evolution
Figure 9
MPME1 insertion in mycobacteriophage Hope.
A. Alignment of the four closely related phages in Cluster G reveals insertions of MPME elements in BPs, Hope, and Halo. Hope contains an MPME1 insertion at a new site corresponding to Angel 56. B. Comparison of the Hope and Angel sequences reveals the pre-integration site; left and right inverted repeats (IR-L and IR-R) are shown in bold type. At the left end there is the presence of an atypical 6 bp insertion (shown in turquoise) between IR-L of MPME1 and the target.
