Sequence variation of rare outer membrane protein β-barrel domains in clinical strains provides insights into the evolution of <i>Treponema pallidum</i> subsp. <i>pallidum</i> , the syphilis spirochete

2018-05-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> In recent years, considerable progress has been made in topologically and functionally characterizing integral outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum ( TPA ), the syphilis spirochete, and identifying its surface-exposed β-barrel domains. Extracellular loops in OMPs of Gram-negative bacteria are known to be highly variable. We examined the sequence diversity o...
