“…The leader sequences possess an overall nucleotide and amino acid identity of 76% (92% aa similarity), and this high identity continues for a short distance into the mature polypeptide, with the next 4 aa being identical between all genes, but drops to about 50% for the following 19 aa, after which no overall significant identity could be found. These same vpma 5Ј untranslated and N-terminal-coding regions are also conserved in the equivalent regions of the vsp genes from M. bovis (3,20,23); however, beyond this, vsp genes have no significant similarity to any vpma genes in M. agalactiae.…”

“…Detailed genetic analyses have suggested that the vpma system is composed of several genes, two of which have been sequenced (16). The 5Ј untranslated regions and those encoding the signal peptide were found to be conserved within the vpma family and revealed a high identity to the equivalent regions in genes encoding a family of lipoproteins, called Vsps, in the phylogenetically related species M. bovis (3,20,23). Based on these data, the Vpmas of M. agalactiae were proposed to represent a system homologous to the Vsps in M. bovis (16).…”

“…They comprise a large family of lipoprotein antigens located on the surface of M. bovis and have been suggested as playing a critical role in the attachment of M. bovis cells to host cells (Beier et al, 1998, Lysnyansky et al, 1999, Nussbaum et al, 2002, van der Merwe et al, 2010. Within the M. bovis PG45 type strain genome, a total of 13 single-copy vsp genes organised in a chromosomal cluster have been identified and characterised (Lysnyansky et al, 1999).…”

“…Within the M. bovis PG45 type strain genome, a total of 13 single-copy vsp genes organised in a chromosomal cluster have been identified and characterised (Lysnyansky et al, 1999). These Vsp proteins have been shown to spontaneously undergo non-coordinate phase variation, between on-and off-expression states, with high frequency both in vivo and in vitro (Beier et al, 1998, Buchenau et al, 2010, Lysnyansky et al, 1996, Lysnyansky et al, 1999.…”
