Organization of genes for subunits of the predicted novel, translation-associated chaperone complex in bacterial chromosomes. Genes are shown as arrows (not drawn to scale). Green arrows show genes coding for subunits of the postulated chaperone complex; orange arrows show genes for translation-associated proteins; blue arrows show genes encoding molecular chaperones. The corresponding systematic gene names are indicated. For Clostridium, the genes are provisionally named after their Bacillus orthologs. B. subtilis has a 7-gene insert indicated by a broken line. The (predicted) functions of the gene products and the corresponding COG numbers are indicated above the aligned genes. Abbreviations: Mpro, metalloprotease; Actr, acetyltransferase; r-prot, ribosomal protein.
