Most strains of Streptococcus mutans possess a 190-kDa protein antigen (PAc) on their cell surfaces, while strain GS-5 produces extracellularly a 155-kDa PAc protein. The pac gene of strain GS-5 consists of 3,477 bp and codes for a protein of 1,158 amino acids. One insertion of an adenine into the 3,469th, 3,470th, or 3,471st position from the start codon results in a frameshift mutation at codon 1157 with subsequent termination after 3 additional codons.
大多数变形链球菌菌株在其细胞表面具有一种190 kDa的蛋白质抗原(PAc),而GS-5菌株在细胞外产生一种155 kDa的PAc蛋白。GS-5菌株的pac基因由3477个碱基对组成,编码一个1158个氨基酸的蛋白质。从起始密码子开始,在第3469、3470或3471位插入一个腺嘌呤会导致密码子1157处的移码突变,随后在另外3个密码子后终止。
