Abstract
The cloning and sequencing of the Brucella abortus major 25-kDa outer membrane protein (OMP) is reported. The 25-kDa (group 3) OMP has been proposed, on the basis of amino acid composition, to be the counterpar t of OmpA (D. R. Verstraete, M. T. Creasy, N. T. Caveney, C. L. Baldwi n, M. W. Blab, and A. J. Winter, Infect. Immun. 35:979-989, 1982). How ever, the amino acid sequence predicted from the cloned B. abortus gen e did not reveal significant homology with either OmpA sequences from different members of the family Enterobacteriaceae or other known prot ein sequences.
