Structure and genotypic plasticity of the Campylobacter fetus sap locus.

Molecular microbiology - 1 May 2003

Tu Zheng-Chao, Wassenaar Trudy M, Thompson Stuart A, Blaser Martin J

Abstract excerpt

The Campylobacter fetus surface layer proteins (SLPs), encoded by five to nine sapA homologues, are major virulence factors. To characterize the sapA homologues further, a 65.9 kb C. fetus genomic region encompassing the sap locus from wild-type strain 23D was completely sequenced and analysed; 44 predicted open reading frames (ORFs) were recognized. The 53.8 kb sap locus contained eight complete and one partial...
