Analysis of a Borrelia burgdorferi phosphodiesterase demonstrates a role for cyclic‐di‐guanosine monophosphate in motility and virulence
28 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
The genome of Borrelia burgdorferi encodes a set of genes putatively involved in cyclic-dimeric guanosine monophosphate (cyclic-di-GMP) metabolism. Although BB0419 was shown to be a diguanylate cyclase, the extent to which bb0419 or any of the putative cyclic-di-GMP metabolizing genes impact B. burgdorferi motility and pathogenesis has not yet been reported. Here we identify and characterize a phosphodiesterase...
