Characterization of lipoprotein EnvA in Chlamydia psittaci 6BC.
The primary sequence of the small cysteine-rich protein (EnvA) of Chlamydia psittaci 6BC has been shown to possess a potential lipid modification/signal peptidase II-processing site, and the mature protein was labeled by a [3H]palmitic acid precursor. We further characterized the mature EnvA, showing that it lacks the N-terminal methionine of the primary peptide, is hydrophobic despite a peptid...
متن کاملLipid Composition of the Hemagglutinating Active Fraction Obtained from Chick Embryos Infected with Chlamydia psittaci 6BC.
The lipid composition of the concentrated hemagglutininating active fraction (HF) of allantoic fluid from infected eggs, but free from Chlamydia psittaci 6BC, was compared to concentrated normal allantoic fluid (NAF). Phosphatidyl-choline (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine were the major lipid classes of the total phospholipid fraction. Some quantitative differences were found in the amount of P...
متن کاملSequence analysis and lipid modification of the cysteine-rich envelope proteins of Chlamydia psittaci 6BC.
The envelopes of elementary bodies of Chlamydia spp. consist largely of disulfide-cross-linked major outer membrane protein (MOMP) and two cysteine-rich proteins (CRPs). The MOMP gene of Chlamydia psittaci 6BC has been sequenced previously, and the genes encoding the small and large CRPs from this strain were cloned and sequenced in this study. The CRP genes were found to be tandemly arranged o...
متن کاملCloning and sequence analysis of the major outer membrane protein gene of Chlamydia psittaci 6BC.
The gene encoding the major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of the psittacine Chlamydia psittaci strain 6BC was cloned and sequenced. N-terminal protein sequencing of the mature MOMP indicated that it is posttranslationally processed at a site identical to the site previously identified in the MOMP of Chlamydia trachomatis L2. The nucleotide sequence of the C. psittaci 6BC MOMP gene was found to ...
متن کاملGenome sequences of the zoonotic pathogens Chlamydia psittaci 6BC and Cal10.
Chlamydia psittaci is a highly prevalent avian pathogen and the cause of a potentially lethal zoonosis, causing life-threatening pneumonia in humans. We report the genome sequences of C. psittaci 6BC, the prototype strain of the species, and C. psittaci Cal10, a widely used laboratory strain.
