Bordetella pertussis virulence-associated 30-, 32-, 90- and 95-kDa outer membrane proteins were purified and their N-terminal amino acid sequences were determined. The 30- and 32-kDa outer membrane proteins showed identity to the C-terminal region of the precursors of the serum resistance protein (BrkA) and the tracheal colonization factor, respectively. We confirmed the cleavage site of these precursors after N731 for BrkA and after N393 for tracheal colonization factor. Associated with the 32-kDa outer membrane protein, we found a new group of 36-kDa virulence-associated peptides. The 95-kDa outer membrane protein showed identity to Vag8. The 90-kDa outer membrane protein did not show homology with the described proteins. We report the N-termini sequence of Vir-90, a novel potential virulence factor.

D014774 Virulence The degree of pathogenicity within a group or species of microorganisms or viruses as indicated by case fatality rates and/or the ability of the organism to invade the tissues of the host. The pathogenic capacity of an organism is determined by its VIRULENCE FACTORS. Pathogenicity
D016415 Sequence Alignment The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.
