Brucella Periplasmic Protein EipB Is a Molecular Determinant of Cell Envelope Integrity and Virulence
29 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
Brucella species cause brucellosis, a global zoonosis. A gene encoding a conserved DUF1849-family protein, which we have named EipB, is present in all sequenced Brucella and several other genera in the class Alphaproteobacteria . The manuscript provides the first functional and structural characterization of a DUF1849 protein. We show that EipB is secreted to the periplasm where it forms a spiral-shaped...
