From: Characterization of translocon proteins in the type III secretion system of Lawsonia intracellularis
Putative components of the T3SS encoded by the LI1157–1159 operon in L. intracellularis identified by comparison with other bacteria. The arrangement of T3SS translocon operons is highly conserved in pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, with several well characterized archetypal translocon operons serving as a basis for comparison. LI1157–LI1159 have the characteristics of the typical T3SS translocon operon structure found in a variety of pathogenic bacteria. The role of the putative proteins is indicated using a color code, with arrows denoting gene transcription orientation.
