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 ...
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 کاملChlamydophila psittaci in Fulmars, the Faroe Islands
Chlamydophila psittaci was detected in 10% of 431 fulmars examined from the Faroe Islands. Analysis of ompA showed a sequence almost identical to that of the type strain. The origin of C. psittaci outbreaks in fulmars is discussed. Despite a high level of exposure, the risk for transmission of C. psittaci to humans is low.
متن کاملCharacterization 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 کاملGenotyping of Chlamydophila psittaci in Human Samples
Chlamydophila (formerly Chlamydia) psittaci genotypes A, B, C, and a new genotype most similar to the 6BC type strain were found in 10 humans with psittacosis by outer membrane protein A gene sequencing. Genotypes B (n = 3) and C (n = 1) are endemic in nonpsittacine European birds. These birds may represent an important part of the zoonotic reservoir.
