Figure 5From: Distinct repeat motifs at the C-terminal region of CagA of Helicobacter pylori strains isolated from diseased patients and asymptomatic individuals in West Bengal, India(a) Alignment of nucleotide sequence of cagA 3' end repeat region of strain PCR 127i and I-230. Predicted amino acid sequence was given at the bottom of the figure and motifs are represented as different colors. A 57 base deletion was observed in strain I-230, which results in loss of 19 amino acids. These 19 amino acids include V1 and an EPIYA motif (Y2). (b) Identification of deletions observed in the repeat region at the C-terminal of CagA of H. pylori strains isolated from India. Each motif was assigned a color and the regions deleted were shown in dashed line.Back to article page
