Molecular cloning, nucleotide sequence, and occurrence of a 16.5-kilodalton outer membrane protein of Brucella abortus with similarity to pal lipoproteins

Abstract: Recombinant Xgtll phages were selected by screening a genomic library of BruceUa abortus DNA with monoclonal antibodies specific for a 16.5-kDa BruceUla outer membrane protein (Ompl6). The corresponding gene, named pal, was subcloned on a 0.7-kb AluI fragment. Immunoblotting confirmed the expression of a recombinant Ompl6 in the transformants. DNA sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 168 codons. The deduced amino acid sequence agrees with an internal peptide sequence of native Ompl6 and contains… Show more

“…This study was undertaken to explore the role of the tolQ and tolR genes in E. ictaluri virulence. The organization of the tol operon in the E. ictaluri chromosome is similar to the tol operon in other Gram-negative pathogens, including Pseudomonas putida [21], Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans [22], Erwinia chrysanthemi [23], Brucella abortus [24], and Haemophilus influenza [25,26]. As expected, there is high amino acid identity between Tol system proteins encoded by E. ictaluri, E. tarda, and E. coli.…”

“…A serologically reactive minor OMP (OMP16.5) was also present in the 17-kDa region. This protein is distinct from the 17-kDa antigen described here, as shown by its reactivity toward specific MAbs (2) as well as by its primary sequence (18). The serological prevalence of the 17-kDa antigen was also studied with a MAb in a competition ELISA.…”

“…The C-terminal region of CadF also possesses an alpha-helical consensus motif (NX 2 LSX 2 RAX 2 VX 3 l), which is proposed to be involved in the non-covalent association of Omps with peptidoglycan (Koebnik, 1995). This consensus motif has previously been identified in a number of proteins, including Omp18 from C. jejuni , PAL of E. coli (Chen and Henning, 1987;Lazzaroni and Portalier, 1992), Omp16 from Brucella abortus (Tibor et al, 1994), P6 of Haemophilus influenzae (Deich et al, 1988;Nelson et al, 1988), PplA of Legionella pneumophila (Engleberg et al, 1991;Ludwig et al, 1991), and OmpA from Enterobacteriaceae. Finally, searches using the deduced amino acid sequence of CadF revealed greatest similarity to the Omp porin F (OprF) from Pseudomonas species, including P. fluorescens and Pseudomonas tolaasi (De Mot et al, 1994).…”
