Developmentally regulated synthesis of an unusually small, basic peptide by <i>Coxiella burnetii</i>

Abstract excerpt

Coxiella burnetii undergoes a poorly defined developmental cycle within phagolysosomes of eukaryotic host cells. Two distinct developmental forms are part of this cycle: a small-cell variant (SCV) and large-cell variant (LCV). Ultrastructurally, the SCV is distinguished from the LCV by its smaller size and condensed chromatin. At a molecular level, little is known about morphogenesis in C. burnetii, and no...
