Molecular cloning and site-specific mutagenesis of a gene involved in arylsulfatase production in Campylobacter jejuni.

PMCID: PMC178088  PMID: 8655516

Abstract

The arylsulfatase gene from Campylobacter jejuni 81-176 encodes a predicted protein of 69,293 Da which shows no sequence similarity with other known arylsulfatases. The gene hybridizes to other Ast+ strains of C. jejuni and Campylobacter sputorum subsp. bubulus, as well as to many Ast- strains of C. jejuni.
