The gene encoding protein D (hpd) is highly conserved among Haemophilus influenzae type b and nontypeable strains.

The molecular conservation of a surface-exposed lipoprotein, protein D, of Haemophilus influenzae was studied by cloning and sequencing of the gene encoding protein D from three encapsulated type b strains and three nontypeable strains of H. influenzae. These nucleotide sequences were analyzed with previously reported sequences from one type b strain and one nontypeable strain. The nucleotide sequences and the deduced amino acid sequences for protein D were highly conserved. The deduced amino acid sequence (364 amino acids) of protein D from six strains differed only in two amino acids near the C-terminal end. The remaining two strains, one type b and one nontypeable, differed from the consensus sequence in 7 amino acids each. Protein D is 64 and 36% identical and 77 and 56% similar to the glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterases (GlpQ) of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis.     

Structural homologies between RNA gene segments 10 and 11 from UK bovine, simian SA11, and human Wa rotaviruses

The nucleotide sequences of gene segments 10 and 11 from UK bovine rotavirus have been determined. Gene 10 is 751 nucleotides long and contains a single long open reading frame capable of coding for a protein of 175 amino acids. When compared with the published data for gene 10 of the simian rotavirus SA11 and human Wa strains it was found to be more closely related to the SA11 structure (92% nucleotide sequence homology; 97% amino acid sequence homology) than to the human Wa structure (84% nucleotide, 86% amino acid sequence homology). All three strains have two potential N-glycosylation sites in the hydrophobic N terminus of the gene 10 protein. Gene 11 from UK bovine rotavirus is 667 nucleotides long with a single long open reading frame capable of coding for a protein of 198 amino acids. When compared with the published sequence of gene 11 from the human rotavirus Wa, the UK bovine rotavirus gene 11 was found to be one nucleotide longer in the 5'-noncoding region and three nucleotides longer in the coding region. The nucleotide sequence homology was 86%. The predicted proteins coded by segment 11 in UK and Wa rotaviruses are both rich in serine and threonine (23%) and very hydrophilic, but differ appreciably in amino acid sequence (83% homology).     

Molecular characterization of hantavirus Zhejiang isolate ZT10 strain from M. fartis]

OBJECTIVE: To learn about the complete genomic sequence of the Seoul virus strain ZT10 isolated from M. fartis. METHODS: The total RNA was extracted from the infected Vero E6 cells and amplified by RT-PCR. The purified PCR products were cloned into T-vector and sequenced. RESULTS: The results demonstrated that the complete genome of ZT10 was comprised of L(6530), M(3651) and S(1753) segments which encoded 2151-1133 and 429 amino acids respectively. CONCLUSION: Analysis of sequence revealed that the ZT10 belonged to Seoul virus. The nucleotide sequence identity of the M gene with Seoul virus was 84.0%-96.3%. The identity with Hantan vrisu (Prospect Hill virus, Tula virus) isolated from M. fartis was 57.5%-60.9%. The sequence identity of the S gene with Seoul virus was 87.9%-96.0% at nucleotide level and 96.9%-97.9% at amino acid level.     

The complete nucleotide sequence of RNA 3 of a peach isolate of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus

The complete nucleotide sequence of RNA 3 of the PE-5 peach isolate of Prunus necrotic ringspot ilarvirus (PNRSV) was obtained from cloned cDNA. The RNA sequence is 1941 nucleotides and contains two open reading frames (ORFs). ORF 1 consisted of 284 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 31,729 Da and ORF 2 contained 224 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 25,018 Da. ORF 2 corresponds to the coat protein gene. Expression of ORF 2 engineered into a pTrcHis vector in Escherichia coli results in a fusion polypeptide of approximately 28 kDa which cross-reacts with PNRSV polyclonal antiserum. Analysis of the coat protein amino acid sequence reveals a putative "zinc-finger" domain at the amino-terminal portion of the protein. Two tetranucleotide AUGC motifs occur in the 3'-UTR of the RNA and may function in coat protein binding and genome activation. ORF 1 homologies to other ilarviruses and alfalfa mosaic virus are confined to limited regions of conserved amino acids. The translated amino acid sequence of the coat protein gene shows 92% similarity to one isolate of apple mosaic virus, a closely related member of the ilarvirus group of plant viruses, but only 66% similarity to the amino acid sequence of the coat protein gene of a second isolate. These relationships are also reflected at the nucleotide sequence level. These results in one instance confirm the close similarities observed at the biophysical and serological levels between these two viruses, but on the other hand call into question the nomenclature used to describe these viruses.     

Nucleotide sequences of the major subunits of F9 and F12 fimbriae of uropathogenic Escherichia coli.

An Eco RV-Cla I fragment containing the gene encoding the F9 fimbrial subunit of the human uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain C1018 and a PstI-PstI fragment containing the F12 fimbrial subunit gene of the dog uropathogenic strain 1442 have been cloned and the nucleotide sequence of the fragments determined. The structural gene of the F9 fimbriae (FniA) codes for a protein of 165 amino acid residues with a signal peptide of 25 amino acids. The F12 fimbrial gene (FtwA) codes for a protein of 155 amino acids which is preceded by a single peptide of 21 amino acids. The amino acid sequences of the FniA and FtwA proteins deduced from the nucleotide sequence were compared with sequences of other known P-fimbrial subunit proteins. As expected, most differences between the various proteins were found in the hypervariable regions defined by van Die et al. (1987). The N-terminal sequence of the FtwA protein differs from the one published by Klemm et al. (1983). FtwA contains two deletions found in comparison to the other fimbrial subunits.     

Nucleotide sequence of the ospAB operon of a Borrelia burgdorferi strain expressing OspA but not OspB.

The nucleotide sequence of a 1.6-kb clone containing the gene for outer surface protein A (OspA) of a German strain (GO2) of Borrelia burgdorferi was determined. The deduced amino acid sequence showed a homology of 82% to the OspA molecules from three other B. burgdorferi strains. The best-conserved region was recognized at the 36-amino-terminal amino acids of OspA. OspB could not be identified in the strain investigated, probably because the nucleotide sequence of the ospAB operon prevented expression of the OspB gene.     

Sequence and Expression in Escherichia coli of the Coat Protein Gene of the Dwarfing Strain of Soybean Dwarf Luteovirus

The nucleotide sequence of the coat protein gene of the dwarfing (D) strain of soybean dwarf luteovirus (SbDV) was determined from cloned cDNA. The gene contains 600 nucleotides and encodes a protein of 200 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 22.2 kDa. A major portion of the coat protein open reading frame (ORF) was expressed in Escherichia coli as a pET fusion protein and the product was detected by western blot analysis using SbDV-D polyclonal antibodies. Comparison of the deduced coat protein amino acid sequence to that from the yellowing (Y) strain of SbDV demonstrated 88% identity.     

Expression of CFA/I fimbriae is positively regulated

Production of the plasmid-coded fimbrial antigen CFA/I of Escherichia coli requires both CFA/I region 1 and CFA/I region 2, which are separated by about 40 kb on the wildtype plasmid. The nucleotide sequence of region 2 was determined and contains an open reading frame (cfa d), encoding a protein of 265 amino acids. The protein has no signal sequence and upon sequence analysis appeared to be a DNA-binding protein. A plasmid was constituted, with a promoterless beta-galactosidase gene preceded by the promoter of region 1. Introduction of a plasmid, carrying the cfa d gene, into a strain containing this construct enhanced expression of beta-galactosidase by at least five-fold indicating that the cfa d protein was enhancing expression from the promoter of region 1. The cfa d gene sequence differed at 28 positions from the Rns gene, which encodes a protein that is a positive regulator of the expression of CS1 or CS2 fimbriae. It was shown that the cfa d gene and the Rns gene can functionally substitute each other in regulating fimbrial synthesis.
