  • Title: Nucleotide sequence of the structural gene for the penicillin-binding protein 2 of Staphylococcus aureus and the presence of a homologous gene in other staphylococci.
    Author: Murakami K, Fujimura T, Doi M.
    Journal: FEMS Microbiol Lett; 1994 Apr 01; 117(2):131-6. PubMed ID: 8181715.
    Abstract:
    The structural gene for penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP2) of Staphylococcus aureus was cloned and sequenced. The nucleotide sequence of the 2,458-bp chromosomal fragment was determined, and the 2,148-bp coding region for PBP2 was identified. Determination of ten N-terminal amino acids of the PBP2 protein indicated that N-terminal methionine had been removed from the primary translational product. Thus, PBP2 is comprised of 715 amino acids with a molecular mass of 79,147. Nucleotide sequences having some homology with the PBP2 gene and proteins cross-reactive with anti-PBP2 antibody were detected in some other species of staphylococci by polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis, respectively.
