The genome of <i>Pasteuria ramosa</i> reveals a high turnover rate of collagen-like genes
2024-02-12
Abstract excerpt
Collagen-like proteins (CLP) are commonly found in many pathogenic bacteria where they serve as adhesins to attach to host tissue. The repetition of the amino-acid pattern (Gly-Xaa-Yaa) n is the major feature of collagen and is essential to the formation of its stable triple helical structure. In the Daphnia magna – Pasteuria ramosa system, a model system for studying antagonistic coevolution, a specific CLP in...
