<i>Borrelia</i> oxidative stress response regulator, BosR: A distinctive Zn-dependent transcriptional activator

Abstract excerpt

The ability of a pathogen to cause infection depends on successful colonization of the host, which, in turn, requires adaptation to various challenges presented by that host. For example, host immune cells use a variety of mechanisms to control infection by bacterial pathogens, including the production of bactericidal reactive oxygen species. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have developed ways of protecting...
