The PE-PGRS glycine-rich proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis : a new family of fibronectin-binding proteins? The GenBank accession number for the sequence reported in this paper is AF071081.

Abstract excerpt

A clone was isolated by screening of a cosmid library of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with an oligonucleotide designed from the N-terminal sequence of a previously reported proline-rich protein. Characterization of the 4481 bp insert showed the presence of polymorphic CG-repetitive sequences (PGRSs) with an ORF of 2.7 kb, encoding a 81.3 kDa protein (PE-PGRS81). Southern blot analysis and BLAST-p searches revealed...
