Inactivation of bb0184 , Which Encodes Carbon Storage Regulator A, Represses the Infectivity of Borrelia burgdorferi
21 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
The genome of Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease spirochete, encodes a homolog (the bb0184 gene product) of the carbon storage regulator A protein (CsrA(Bb)); recent studies reported that CsrA(Bb) is involved in the regulation of several infectivity factors of B. burgdorferi. However, the mechanism involved remains unknown. In this report, a csrA(Bb) mutant was constructed and complemented in an infectious...
