Abstract: | Utilizing a polymerase chain reaction-based approach, the gene (rpoD) encoding the primary sigma factor from Borrelia burgdorferi strain B31 was cloned and sequenced. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame (ORF) of 1632 bp (543 amino acids (aa), 63.7 kDa). Comparison with Escherichia coli σ70 and Bacillus subtilis σ43 showed a high degree of similarity in the aa sequences, especially for the regions that are known to be required for promoter recognition and core binding. |
