A SPONTANEOUS HEMADSORPTION-NEGATIVE MUTANT OF MYCOPLASMA-PNEUMONIAE EXHIBITS A TRUNCATED ADHESIN-RELATED 30-KILODALTON PROTEIN AND LACKS THE CYTADHERENCE-ACCESSORY PROTEIN HMW1
G. Layhschmitt et al., A SPONTANEOUS HEMADSORPTION-NEGATIVE MUTANT OF MYCOPLASMA-PNEUMONIAE EXHIBITS A TRUNCATED ADHESIN-RELATED 30-KILODALTON PROTEIN AND LACKS THE CYTADHERENCE-ACCESSORY PROTEIN HMW1, Journal of bacteriology, 177(3), 1995, pp. 843-846
A spontaneous, hemadsorption-negative mutant of Mycoplasma pneumoniae
lacks the cytoskeleton-forming HMW1 protein and exhibits a truncated a
dhesin-related 30-kDa protein. Genetic analyses revealed deletion of o
ne nucleotide in the hmw1 gene and loss of eight repeated sequences co
mprising 144 nucleotides in the gene for the adhesin-related 30-kDa pr
otein.
