A unique borrelial protein facilitates microbial immune evasion

ABSTRACT Borrelia burgdorferi, the pathogen of Lyme disease, encodes many conserved proteins of unknown structure or function, including ones that serve essential roles in microbial infectivity. One such protein is BB0238, which folds into a two-domain protein, as we have determined by X-ray crystal...
