Abstract
TJ Doran ALM Hodgson JK Davies AJ Radford Characterisation of a novel repetitive DNA sequence from Mycobacterium bovis FEMS Microbiology Letters Volume 96 Issue 23 September 1992 Pages 179–185 https//doiorg/101111/j157469681992tb05413xWe report characterisation of three copies of a novel repeat sequence isolated from a Mycobacterium bovis genomic library The repeat occurs within open reading frames potentially encoding a conserved tandem array of a pentapeptide sequence with the consensus XGlyAsnXGly The tandem array is present up to five times in M bovis and it is proposed that they may occur in a family of genes expressing functionally related proteins We postulate that these proteins may play a role in binding of M bovis to host cell receptors
