BB0250 of Borrelia burgdorferi Is a Conserved and Essential Inner Membrane Protein Required for Cell Division
25 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
The gene bb0250 of Borrelia burgdorferi is a homolog of the dedA family, encoding integral inner membrane proteins that are present in nearly all species of bacteria. To date, no precise function has been attributed to any dedA gene. Unlike many bacterial species, such as Escherichia coli, which has eight dedA genes, B. burgdorferi possesses only one, annotated bb0250, providing a unique opportunity to...
