The nucleotide sequence of the Bacteroides fragilis neuraminidase-encoding gene (nanH) and its flanking regions was determined. The B. fragilis nanH open reading frame (ORF) of 1632 nucleotides encoded a neuroaminidase of 544 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 59.51 kDa. The amino acid sequence at the N-terminus of the deduced protein exhibited the common features of procaryotic signal sequences. The Asp box sequence, Ser-X-Asp-X-Gly-X-Thr-Trp, which is conserved among bacterial neuraminidases, was found at five positions in the deduced amino acid sequence. A single transcription start point was identified 88 nucleotides upstream of the nanH ORF. Northern blot analysis using an internal nanH probe revealed a single mRNA species with a length of 1.8 kb that could encode just the neuraminidase.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
