Surface Localization Determinants of Borrelia OspC/Vsp Family Lipoproteins
27 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
The dimeric OspC/Vsp family surface lipoproteins of Borrelia spirochetes are crucial to the transmission and persistence of Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne relapsing fever. However, the requirements for their proper surface display remained undefined. In previous studies, we showed that localization of Borrelia burgdorferi monomeric surface lipoprotein OspA was dependent on residues in the N-terminal "tether"...
