Modular structure of TPE TP0858 alleles 1, 2, and 3 from TPE-containing samples from Namatanai, Papua New Guinea.

While TP0858 allele 2 has a modular structure similar to TPE Samoa D, TP0858 allele 1 has a similar modular structure as Kampung Dalan K363 [18]. The TP0858 allele 3 represents a novel allele with a unique modular structure. The arrows denote recombinant regions. The figure was modified according to Strouhal et al. (2018) [18], and an additional donor site is shown. All sequences shown correspond to the Samoa D sequences, while the sequences determined in this study differ in several nucleotide positions. Not all identified donor sites were found among TPE strains and isolates.
