Ng‐MIP, a surface‐exposed lipoprotein of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, has a peptidyl‐prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase) activity and is involved in persistence in macrophages

Abstract excerpt

Macrophage infectivity potentiators (MIPs) are a family of surface-exposed virulence factors of intracellular microorganisms such as Legionella, Chlamydia and Trypanosoma. These proteins display peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase) activity that is inhibited by immunosuppressants FK506 and rapamycin. Here we describe the identification and characterization in Neisseria gonorrhoeae of Ng-MIP, a...
