Nucleotide sequence of the papA gene encoding the Pap pilus subunit of human uropathogenic Escherichia coli

J Bacteriol. 1984 Jan;157(1):330-3. doi: 10.1128/jb.157.1.330-333.1984.

Abstract

The papA gene of the uropathogenic strain Escherichia coli J96, coding for the Pap pili subunit, was subjected to DNA sequencing, and found to code for an 185-amino acid-long polypeptide with a 22-amino acid-long signal peptide. Here we present the primary sequence, the hydrophilicity profile, and the predicted polypeptide secondary structure of the Pap pili subunit.
