Nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding the two-subunit pilin of Bacteroides nodosus 265.

Efficacy against footrot of a Bacteroides nodosus 265 (serogroup H) pilus vaccine expressed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Pili of Bacteroides nodosus 265 (serogroup H) were expressed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa both alone and in combination with pili from B. nodosus 198 (serogroup A). Pilin genes from B. nodosus were introduced on plasmid-borne, thermoregulated expression systems, either singly or as tandem genes from two separate strains in a single transcription unit. Despite the absence of a posttranslational cle...

Nucleotide sequence of cDNA encoding for preprochymosin in native goat (Capra hircus) from Iran

Prochymosin is one of the most important aspartic proteinases used as a milk-clotting enzyme in cheese production. In the present investigation we report sequence of cDNA encoding goat ( Capra hircus ) preprochymosin and compare its nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences with sequences of other ruminants preprochymosin. As bovine prochymosin, the caprine prochymosin cDNA encodes 365 amino ...

Pilins from the B serogroup of Bacteroides nodosus: characterization, expression, and cross-protection.

Sequences of pilin genes from four strains of serogroup B of the ovine pathogen Bacteroides nodosus have been determined. These sequences permit comparisons of amino acid sequence between pilins from different subtypes (B1, B2, B3, B4) of the B serogroup and assessment of intraserogroup variation. Pili of B. nodosus strains 234 (B1) and 183 (B2) were produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa harboring...

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

PCR-MEDIATED CLONING A ND EXPRESSION OF THE GENE FOR THE B-SUBUNIT OF VIBRIO CHOLERAE TOXIN ISOLATED RECENTLY IN IRAN

Knowing the nucleotide sequence of the cholera toxin operon, we designed oligonucleotide primers for its-PCR amplification from local clinical isolates of V. cholerae. The resulting amplification product was cloned in a common pUC18 vector. Subsequently, a part of this operon encoding the cholera toxin Bsubunit (CTB) was reamplified and cloned between the BamH1 and EcoR1 sites of the same ...
