Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of a 1,513 bp fragment of Mycobacteri um bovis BCG containing the secY gene homolog and partial adk gene tha t encodes an adenylate kinase has been determined. The secY gene of BC G has an open reading frame of 441 amino acids with homology to the Se cY protein family. Comparative analyses of the deduced amino acid sequ ence of additional partial ORF revealed strong similarity to the known adenylate kinases.
