Abstract

We 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 X-Gly-Asn-X-Gly. 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.
