Nucleotide sequence of the sfaA gene coding for the S fimbrial protein subunit of Escherichia coli

Please always quote using this URN: urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-59480
  • The sfaA gene of the uropathogenic Escherichia coli 06 strain 536, which is responsible for the determination of the S fimbrial protein subunit, was sequenced. The structural gene codes for a polypeptide of 180 amino acids including a 24-residue N-terminal signal sequence. A size of 15.95 kDa was calculated for the processed SfaA protein. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences show significant homology to those of the F1C fimbria and, to a lesser extent, of the mannose- sensitive hemagglutinating fimbria (FimA, PilA).
