FIGURE 1.

Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of PeDPP11. The DNA sequence of DPP11 from P. endodontalis and its deduced amino acid sequence are shown. Matching the nucleotide sequence with those of the degenerate primers DPP7deg244–276 and DPP7deg676–643 (supplemental Table S1) is indicated by asterisks (completely matched) or dots (matched with one of the degenerate bases). The nucleotide sequences (8Fcomp127–102 and 8Fcomp326–350) used for genome walking are underlined. The N-terminal amino acid sequence determined with an immuno-purified 75-kDa protein is boxed (see Fig. 3C).
