TL;DR
A clone encoding the F41 f imbnal sub-unit gene from E coli B41, was isolated from an B1BL3 library using an oligonucleotide based on the published N-termlnal amino acid sequence to reveal an open reading frame encoding a protein of 277 amino acids.

TheEnterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains of serogroups O9 and O101 produce an adhesive antigen, provisionally designated as F41, which had strong hemagglutinating activity with guinea pig and human group A erythrocytes and weaker hemag GlutinatingActivity with horse and sheep ery Throcytes.

The genetic organization of the polypeptides required for the biosynthesis of the F41 adhesin of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains was investigated and extensive homology was observed between the region encoding the putative signal sequences of theF41 and K88 antigens and in the region immediately upstream of the antigen genes.

Comparison of the amino acid sequences inferred from the gene sequences revealed certain clusters of amino acid substitutions which have been correlated with areas of potential antigenicity in the mature proteins.
