Halobacterial flagellins are encoded by a multigene family. Identification of all five gene products.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Flagellins of Halobacterium halobium are encoded in five different but homologous genes. Flagellins isolated from purified flagella were digested and the resulting peptides sequenced. The amino acid sequence data obtained prove that all five gene products are expressed and integrated into the flagellar bundle.

Silkmoth chorion proteins: sequence analysis of the products of a multigene family.
Five polypeptide components have been isolated from the eggshell (chorions) of a silkmoth. Two are homogeneous on sodium dodecyl sulfate and isoelectric focusing gels, and three contain predominantly two proteins each. Amino acid analyses show that all five components are similar to each other. These proteins have been sequenced from the amino terminus. Homogeneous components yielded single seq...
متن کاملGenetic Variability of Antigen B8/1 among Echinococcus granulosus Isolates from Human, Cattle, and Sheep in Fars Province, Southern Iran
Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), known as hydatid cyst, is a zoonotic parasitic infection caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus). Antigen B, the major component of hydatid cyst fluid, is encoded by members of a multigene family. The present study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity of the gene encoding antigen B8/1 (EgAgB8/1) among the main intermediate...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of the ADGF multigene family by homologous recombination and gene conversion in Drosophila.
Many Drosophila genes exist as members of multigene families and within each family the members can be functionally redundant, making it difficult to identify them by classical mutagenesis techniques based on phenotypic screening. We have addressed this problem in a genetic analysis of a novel family of six adenosine deaminase-related growth factors (ADGFs). We used ends-in targeting to introdu...
متن کاملWheat MADS box genes, a multigene family dispersed throughout the genome.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with degenerate primers was utilized for partial cloning of the MADS box gene family from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). PCR products corresponding to a part of the MADS box region were cloned and sequenced. Eleven individual clones sequenced were classified into seven types on the basis of the nucleotide sequence and five types on the deduced amino acid sequence,...
متن کاملCapripoxvirus identification by PCR based on P32 gene
Sheeppox virus (SPV) and goatpox virus (GPV) belong to the capripoxvirus genus of Poxviridae family. Sheeppox and goatpox along with contagious ecthyma (CE) are endemic diseases in Iran. Capripox laboratory conformation based on virological and serological techniques are time consuming, laborious and most of them of low specificity, because of close antigenic relationship between capripoxviru...
