In silico prediction of molecular mechanisms of toxicity mediated by the leptospiral PF07598 gene family-encoded virulence-modifying proteins
23 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Mechanisms of leptospirosis pathogenesis remain unclear despite the identification of a number of potential leptospiral virulence factors. We recently demonstrated potential mechanisms by which the virulence-modifying (VM) proteins—defined as containing a Domain of Unknown function (DUF1561), encoded by the PF07598 gene family—found only in group 1 pathogenic Leptospira —might mediate the clinical pathogenesis of...
