Essential role for the BacA protein in the uptake of a truncated eukaryotic peptide in Sinorhizobium meliloti.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Mar 2009

Abstract excerpt

The inner membrane BacA protein is essential for the establishment of chronic intracellular infections by Sinorhizobium meliloti and Brucella abortus within plant and mammalian hosts, respectively. In their free-living state, S. meliloti and B. abortus mutants lacking BacA have reductions in their outer membrane lipid A very-long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) contents and exhibit low-level resistance to the...
