Figure 3. Polymorphism in pertactin (Prn) and the S1 subunit of pertussis (PtxS1) toxin found in Dutch strains. The RGD sequence in pertactin, involved in binding to host receptors, has been underlined. Dashes indicate gaps. Numbers refer to positions of amino acids relative to the N-terminal methionine.
