Nucleotide sequence of a gene encoding a new genus specific protein of Chlamydia psittaci.

Nucleotide Sequence of Gene Encoding Capsid Protein VPI of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus / Type O1 Iran

Cloning 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 ...

Phylogenetic analyses of Chlamydia psittaci strains from birds based on 16S rRNA gene sequence.

The nucleotide sequences of 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) were determined for 39 strains of Chlamydia psittaci (34 from birds and 5 from mammals) and for 4 Chlamydia pecorum strains. The sequences were compared phylogenetically with the gene sequences of nine Chlamydia strains (covering four species of the genus) retrieved from nucleotide databases. In the neighbor-joining tree, C. psittaci strains ...

Characterization of DNA fragment from Chlamydia psittaci avian strain which shows high homology with hypB gene of Chlamydia.

A study was performed to characterize DNA fragment No. 17 of C. psittaci strain P-1041 which encoded 42 KD beta-galactosidase fusion protein with type-specific antigenicity. Sequence determination identified a partial open reading frame that spanned about 1,200b. p. nucleotides. Screening the literatures for the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences revealed extensive similarity between t...

The nucleotide sequence of the 60 kDa cysteine rich outer membrane protein of Chlamydia pneumoniae strain IOL-207.

Members of the species chlamydia are characterised by their obligate intracellular life cycle. The genus comprises three species; Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia psittaci and Chlamydia pneumoniae. C. pneumoniae causes acute respiratory infections in humans. This organism has only recently been shown to warrant its own species classification within the chlamydial genus based on immunological, u...
