Abstract
We report the sequence of the papE, papF and papG genes from the O75:K5 uropathogenic P pili variant, Pap-3. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences with those of other P pili variants reveals regions of complete homology, as well as regions of variation. Analysis of the variations in the hydrophilic domains of these proteins will help elucidate the residues which determine binding specificity.
