Nucleotide sequence of the Treponema pallidum eno gene.
We determined the nucleotide sequence of the enolase (eno) gene of Treponema pallidum, the noncultivable agent of syphilis. The deduced amino acid sequence of T. pallidum enolase (Eno) is 432 amino acids long with a predicted molecular mass of 46.7 kDa. The Eno amino acid sequence has a high degree of homology to the amino acid sequences of prokaryotic and eukaryotic Eno. This is the first eno sequence reported for a bacterium in the order Spirochaetales.
