Fig. 8From: Selfish uptake versus extracellular arabinoxylan degradation in the primary degrader Ruminiclostridium cellulolyticum, a new string to its bowSynteny analysis of xua cluster The loci are aligned with respect to the AXOS specific solute binding protein XuaA (SBP) encoding genes. Other genes homologous to the xua gene cluster encode the transmembrane domain XuaB, C (TMD), the glycoside hydrolases XuaD, E, F, G (GH), the esterases XuaH and J (E1 and E2, respectively), proteins of unknown function (U) (XuaD’ and XuaI), and a two-component system including a sensor histidine kinase (HK) and a response regulator (RR). In white are found genes encoding for proteins different from the Xua proteins. Numbers in genes encoding GH refer to the GH family to which they belongBack to article page
