Characterization of genetic exchanges between various highly divergent tbpBs, having occurred in Neisseria meningitidis.

Gene - 16 Feb 1998

Legrain M, Rokbi B, Villeval D, Jacobs E

Abstract excerpt

Transferrin-binding protein B (TbpB) from Neisseria is an outer membrane-associated extracellular protein involved in iron capture during bacterial infection. The tbpB genes display extensive divergences throughout the open reading frame (ORF) that have presumably been selected under the pressure of the immune system. Early studies suggested that they could possibly constitute two distantly related groups of...
