Ungapped DNA sequence alignment of the two forms of vlp1 _{B. recurrentis A1} The upper row represents the sequence derived from the slower migrating 54 kbp plasmid of figure 1C. The sequence corresponding to the UP element consensus found in the bottom row sequence is italicised. The putative '-35' and '-10' elements and ribosome binding sites are underlined. Translation start sites are shown in bold. Region complementary to LLS1 and LLS2 probes are double-underlined. Accession number for both sequences are given in the methods section.
