RESUMEN
The nucleotide sequence of a 3955-bp Helicobacter pylori plasmid, pHP51 was determined, and two open reading frames, ORF1 and ORF2, were identified. The deduced amino acid sequence of ORF1 was highly conserved (87-89%) among plasmid replication initiation proteins, RepBs. The function of ORF2 was not assigned because it lacked known functional domains or sequence similarity with other known proteins, although it had a HPFXXGNG motif that was also found in the cAMP-induced filamentation (fic) gene. Three kinds of repeats were present on the plasmid outside of the ORFs, including the R1 and R2 repeats that are common in H. pylori plasmids. One 100-bp sequence detected in the noncoding region of pHP51 was highly similar to the genomic sequence of H. pylori 26695.

The whole genome sequences of Helicobacter pylori strain 26695 have been reported. Whole cell proteins of H. pylori strain 26695 cells were obtained and analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis, using immobilized pH gradient strips. The most abundant proteins were shown in the region of pI 4.0-9.5 with molecular masses from 10 to 100 kDa. Soluble proteins were precipitated by the use of 0-80% saturated solutions of ammonium sulfate. Soluble proteins precipitated by the 0-40% saturations of ammonium sulfate produced similar spot profiles and their abundant protein spots had acidic pI regions. However, a number of soluble proteins precipitated by more than 60% saturation of ammonium sulfate were placed in the alkaline pI regions, compared to those precipitated by 40% saturation. In addition, we have performed an extensive proteome analysis of the strain utilizing peptide MALDI-TOF-MS. Among the 345 protein spots processed, 175 proteins were identified. The identified spots represented 137 genes. One-hundred and fifteen proteins were newly identified in this study, including DNA polymerase III beta-subunit. These results might provide guidance for the enrichment of H. pylori proteins and contribute to construct a master protein map of H. pylori.
