FIG. 7.

Sequence of a novel OmpA-like protein. (A) PCR primers were designed from the N-terminal peptide sequences of the full-length protein and 9-kDa CNBr fragment and used to amplify genomic DNA isolated from bacterial strains. The forward (→) and reverse (←) primers are indicated. The italicized sequences are the residues sequenced from the full-length 38-kDa peptide and 9-kDa CNBr fragments. The underlined residues were sequenced from the N terminus of the 21-kDa CNBr fragment. (B) ompA-like gene locus with translation. The in-frame upstream TAA stop codons are underlined. The dotted underline indicates the Shine-Dalgarno sequence. The putative signal sequence is double underlined. (C) Comparison of M. catarrhalis CD protein (M. cat) with the OmpA-like protein (OmpA). Plus signs indicate amino acid similarity; dashes indicate sequence gaps.
