A 38-Kilobase Pathogenicity Island Specific forMycobacterium aviumsubsp.paratuberculosisEncodes Cell Surface Proteins Expressed in the Host
21 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
We have used representational difference analysis to identify a novel Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis-specific ABC transporter operon (mpt), which comprises six open reading frames designated mptA to -F and is immediately preceded by two putative Fur boxes. Functional genomics revealed that the mpt operon is flanked on one end by a fep cluster encoding proteins involved in the uptake of Fe(3+) and on...
