Abstract

An analogue of the adhesin gene p40 of Mycoplasma agalactiae was found in Mycoplasma bovis. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the p40* gene in M. bovis revealed the presence of a large deletion involving a frameshift that causes premature truncation of the translated protein, indicating that p40* exists as a pseudogene in M. bovis.

摘要

在牛支原体中发现了无乳支原体黏附素基因p40的一个类似物。对牛支原体中p40基因的核苷酸序列分析显示，存在一个大的缺失，该缺失涉及移码，导致翻译后的蛋白质过早截断，这表明p40在牛支原体中以假基因的形式存在。
