Regulatory Protein BBD18 of the Lyme Disease Spirochete: Essential Role During Tick Acquisition?

2 Apr 2014

Abstract excerpt

The Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi senses and responds to environmental cues as it transits between the tick vector and vertebrate host. Failure to properly adapt can block transmission of the spirochete and persistence in either vector or host. We previously identified BBD18, a novel plasmid-encoded protein of B. burgdorferi, as a putative repressor of the host-essential factor OspC. In this study,...
