D. Thiele et al., ANALYSIS OF THE ENTIRE NUCLEOTIDE-SEQUENCE OF THE CRYPTIC PLASMID QPH1 FROM COXIELLA-BURNETII, European journal of epidemiology, 10(4), 1994, pp. 413-420
The complete plasmid QpH1 from Coxiella burnetii, isolate 'Nine Mile',
phase I, was cloned as NotI fragment with a size of 37329 bp. The ent
ire plasmid was sequenced by the chain termination method after EcoRI
subcloning. 37 open reading frames coding for polypeptides larger than
100 amino acid residues were determined. The predicted polypeptide pr
oducts of the open reading frames were compared by computer analysis w
ith reported protein sequences. Homologies of predicted polypetide pro
ducts to analogous proteins are described.
