A diagrammatic representation of moa A3 and the surrounding regions. Comparison of the region comprising moaA3 gene and the surrounding genes in M. bovis, H37Rv and the clinical isolate, CDC1551. All data from references [19, 20, 21, 22]. The coamplified PCR product is shown as a thick line in the moaA3 locus. The amplicon extends from 575 to 960 of moaA3 gene in M. bovis. The genome coordinates of the moaA3 gene in M. bovis and M. tuberculosis CDC1551 are shown. The thin dotted lines indicate corresponding genes in M. bovis and CDC1551. The bold dotted lines indicate similar genes in CDC1551 and H37Rv. Rv3324A is differentially shown since it's a truncated gene and has only partial nucleotide similarity to CDC1551 moaB3 gene.
