The Membrane Protein LasM Promotes the Culturability of Legionella pneumophila in Water.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology - 1 Jan 2016

Abstract excerpt

The water-borne pathogen Legionella pneumophila (Lp) strongly expresses the lpg1659 gene in water. This gene encodes a hypothetical protein predicted to be a membrane protein using in silico analysis. While no conserved domains were identified in Lpg1659, similar proteins are found in many Legionella species and other aquatic bacteria. RT-qPCR showed that lpg1659 is positively regulated by the alternative sigma...
