Figure 1

Genetic organization of the cag pathogenicity island. The open reading frames within the 40-kb cag PAI are depicted as arrows with the cag gene designations (single letters) below and names of homologs above. The whole genome gene designations are given as a three-digit number. Below, three alternative arrangements of the cag PAI in three additional H. pylori strains are shown. is 605, an insertion sequence; tnpA, transposon A; tnpB, transposon B.
