A DNA fragment has been isolated from the genome of Mycoplasma pirum by use of a genetic probe derived from the conserved region within the genes for the major adhesins of Mycoplasma genitalium and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. A gene encoding an adhesin-like polypeptide was localized, and sequence analysis indicated a G + C content of only 28%, with A- and T-rich codons being preferentially used. A total of 91% of positions 3 were either A or T. The deduced polypeptide is 1,144 amino acids long (126 k ...[more]
