A tandem pair of nearly identical genes from Serpulina hyodysenteriae (B204) were cloned and sequenced. The full open reading frame of one gene and the partial open reading frame of the neighboring gene appear to encode secreted proteins which are homologous to, yet distinct from, the 39-kDa extracytoplasmic protein purified from the membrane fraction of S. hyodysenteriae. We have designated these newly identified genes vspA and vspB (for variable surface protein).
克隆并测序了来自猪痢疾蛇形螺旋体(B204)的一对几乎相同的串联基因。其中一个基因的完整开放阅读框和相邻基因的部分开放阅读框似乎编码分泌蛋白,这些蛋白与从猪痢疾蛇形螺旋体膜组分中纯化的39 kDa胞外蛋白同源,但又有所不同。我们将这些新鉴定的基因命名为vspA和vspB(可变表面蛋白)。
