摘要
The rpoD gene encoding the primary sigma-factor of Campylobacter jejuni was amplified from genomic DNA with degenerate oligonucleotide primers. The complete gene encodes a polypeptide of 622 amino acids and has a deduced M-r of 72.6 kDa. This polypeptide is 40% identical to the RpoD (sigma(70)) protein of Escherichia coli and has 66% identity with the Helicobacter pylori RpoD protein. A C, jejuni sigma(70) promoter, not recognized by the E. coli sigma(70) factor, could be activated in this bacterium in the presence of the cloned C. jejuni RpoD protein.
