TY - JOUR AU1 - Jackson, Matthew, P. AU2 - Neill, Roger, J. AU3 - O&apos AU4 - Brien, Alison, D. AU5 - Holmes, Randall, K. AU6 - Newland, John, W. AB - Summary The nucleotide sequence of the Shiga-like toxin type II (SLT-II) structural genes cloned from bacteriophage 933W of the enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 strain 933 was determined. This sequence was compared with the published sequence for the structural genes of the antigenically distinct Shiga-like toxin type I (SLT-I) encoded by bacteriophage 933J. The SLT-I and SLT-II structural genes shared 58% overall nucleotide and 56% amino acid sequence homologies. The A and B subunits of SLT-I and SLT-II were nearly identical in size and had similar secondary structures and hydropathy plots. The regulation proposed for the SLT-II operon is similar to that previously proposed for SLT-I. Shiga-like toxin, Verotoxin, Nucleotide sequence comparison References [1] O'Brien A.D. LaVeck G.D.
