  • Title: Nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding pilin of Bacteroides nodosus, the causal organism of ovine footrot.
    Author: Elleman TC, Hoyne PA.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1984 Dec; 160(3):1184-7. PubMed ID: 6094507.
    Abstract:
    The nucleotide sequence encoding pilin, the monomer protein subunit of the pilus from Bacteroides nodosus, has been determined. The sequence predicts a short, positively charged, amino-terminal segment which is absent from the amino acid sequence of mature pilin. The coding sequence is preceded upstream by a sequence of five nucleotides complementary to the 3' end of 16S rRNA of Escherichia coli--a potentially good ribosome binding site--and even further upstream by an AT-rich region preceding several potential recognition sites for RNA polymerase. The coding sequence is followed by a region of hyphenated dyad symmetry having the potential to act as a rho-independent terminator of transcription.
