Sequence of the Proteus mirabilis urease accessory gene ureG

Gene. 1993 Jul 15;129(1):103-6. doi: 10.1016/0378-1119(93)90703-6.

Abstract

We report the sequence of ureG, an accessory gene that is a part of the ure gene cluster of uropathogenic Proteus mirabilis and required for full enzymatic activity of urease. The 615-bp open reading frame predicts a M(r) 22,374 polypeptide, which contains a consensus amino acid (aa) sequence for ATP-binding. The polypeptide shares sequence homology with UreG of Escherichia coli (93% of identical aa), Klebsiella aerogenes (59%) and Helicobacter pylori (59%).
