Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to conduct a bioinformatics analysis for
p113 gene of
Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae and further predict its functions. Using several softwares, homology of
p113 gene with other genes was calculated and trans-membrane structure, repeat sequence, signal peptide and epitodes were predicted. The results revealed that
p113 was an orthologous of
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae adhesin gene p
p97 which shared similar R2 repeat sequence. Overall analysis leads to the prediction that P113 protein is one of the important adhesins and membrane immunogens.
