During DNA sequence analysis of cosmid L373 from the Mycobacterium leprae genome, an open reading frame of 1.4 kb encoding a protein with some homology to the immunodominant 34-kDa protein of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, but lacking significant serological activity, was detected. The DNA sequence predicted a signal peptide with a modified lipoprotein consensus sequence, but the protein proved to be devoid of lipid attachment.
在对麻风分枝杆菌基因组的黏粒L373进行DNA序列分析时,检测到一个1.4 kb的开放阅读框,其编码的蛋白质与副结核分枝杆菌的免疫显性34 kDa蛋白有一定同源性,但缺乏显著的血清学活性。DNA序列预测有一个带有修饰脂蛋白共有序列的信号肽,但该蛋白质被证明没有脂质附着。
