Abstract excerpt
The biological function and role in pathogenesis of a Pasteurella multocida A:1 strain hemoglobin binding protein was investigated. The hgbB gene from the P. multocida A:1 strain, VP161, was cloned and characterized. hgbB was 2991 bp in length and encoded a mature length protein of 111 kDa. HgbB was predicted to be an outer membrane protein and shared 68 and 69% similarity to the hemoglobin/hemoglobin-haptoglobin...
