Polymorphic membrane protein H has evolved in parallel with the three disease-causing groups of Chlamydia trachomatis.

Infection and immunity - 1 Mar 2003

Stothard Diane R, Toth Gregory A, Batteiger Byron E

Abstract excerpt

Chlamydia trachomatis is a human pathogen causing trachoma, urogenital disease, and lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV). A family of nine polymorphic membrane protein genes (pmpA to pmpI), resembling autotransporter proteins, has recently been discovered in C. trachomatis. pmp genes are large and predicted to be outer membrane proteins. We hypothesized that they would contain useful nucleotide sequence variability for...
