The structural gene codes for a polypeptide of 180 amino acids including a 24-residue N-terminal signal sequence. A size of 15.95 kDa was calculated for the processed SfaA protein. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences show significant homology to those of the F1C fimbria and, to a lesser extent, of the mannose- sensitive hemagglutinating fimbria (FimA, PilA). Only week homology toP fimbriae subunits (F72 , Pap) was found.}, subject = {Infektionsbiologie}, language = {en} }
