The nucleotide sequences of the mglA and mglC genes of Salmonella typh
imurium (St) LT2 have been determined. The deduced amino acid (aa) seq
uences of MglA and MglC are 506 and 302 aa long with predicted molecul
ar masses of 56484 and 31551 Da, respectively. The aa sequences of St
MglA and MglC are homologous to the corresponding Mgl proteins of Esch
erichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Treponema pallidum and Mycoplasm
a genitalium. The order of the St mgl operon is mglBAC.
