Recombination between genes encoding major outer surface proteins A and B of Borrelia burgdorferi.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Oct 1992

Rosa P A, Schwan T, Hogan D

Abstract excerpt

Borrelia burgdorferi causes Lyme disease, a multisystem illness that can persist in humans for many years. We describe recombination between homologous genes encoding the major outer surface proteins (Osps) A and B of B. burgdorferi which both deletes osp gene sequences and creates chimaeric gene fusions. Recombinant osp genes occur in multiple strains and encode unique proteins that lack some characteristic Osp...
