Conformational B cell epitopes of MAP3523c (oxcA) predicted from the 3D structure template under PDB ID 2Q27 (a crystal structure of oxalyl-CoA decarboxylase from E. coli). Conformational B cell epitopes of MAP3523c (oxcA) predicted from the 3D structure template under PDB ID 2Q27 (a crystal structure of oxalyl-CoA decarboxylase from E. coli). In the ball-and-stick model, yellow balls are the residues of predicted epitopes (E1 to E9) and white sticks are the structures for nonepitope and core residues. Each epitope is shown with predicted residues (abbreviated amino acids) and residue positions (superscript numerals): E1, MAGQ1–4; E2, YPHPHGR5–11; E3, SRHMSATSASAGPAPESAR12–30; E4, ASAASPAAVSAGA582–594; E5, PAPEAVDRALDVLADARRP220–238-STGI261–264-AD295–296-DALAARPITVPA356–367-E371; E6, RGDEAPHGDDPAPTV504–518-P567; E7, SD130–131-ALVDLRRGDY133–142-DL144–145; E8, LSARAR519–524-L527-EAF530–532-H538; and E9, SAGVK318–322.
