Molecular evolution of key genes for type II secretion in Legionella pneumophila.

Environmental microbiology - 1 Aug 2012

Costa Joana, d'Avó Ana Filipa, da Costa Milton S, Veríssimo António

Abstract excerpt

Given the role of type II protein secretion system (T2S) in the ecology and pathogenesis of Legionella pneumophila, it is possible that this system is a target for adaptive evolution. The population genetic structure of L.pneumophila was inferred from the partial sequences of rpoB and from the complete sequence of three T2S structural components (lspD, lspE and pilD) and from two T2S effectors critical for...
