emm149.1 (formerly stKNB4.1) subtype determining sequence. Identity to bases 31-180 (encodes mature N-terminus) and ungapped identity and near- identity to complete 180 base sequence defines this subtype. emm149.1 (formerly stKNB4.1) from GAS. Corresponds to the enn gene that lies immediately downstream of emm gene in types emm2 and emm73. Was formerly designated stKNB4.0. Identity to bases 31-180 (encodes mature N-terminus) and ungapped identity or near-identity to complete 180 base sequence defines this subtype. Sequence supplied by Dwight Johnson. The 150 base type-specific sequence is identical in its overlap with gene emmL2.2 in GenBank accession X61276. Infect.
