Abstract excerpt
Mycoplasma pneumoniae proteins HMW1-HMW3 collectively are essential for cytadherence, but the function or requirement for each has not been defined. Cytadherence mutant M6 lacks HMW1 because of a frameshift in hmw1 and produces a truncated adherence-associated protein P30 because of a deletion at the 3' end of p30. Genetic manipulation of this mutant was used to evaluate the role of HMW1 in cytadherence. Mutant...
