Expansion of PFAM 01617 Family in Major Outer Membrane Proteins of Ehrlichia sp. A

This study explores the expansion of the PFAM 01617 family, which includes major outer membrane proteins in the gram-negative organism Ehrlichia sp. A. This bacterium lacks key structural components like peptidoglycans and lipopolysaccharides but possesses complex proteins in its outer membrane. These membrane proteins may play crucial roles in the bacterium's adaptive strategies, aiding in immune evasion and influencing host-pathogen interactions. Notably, PFAM 01617 contributes to antigenic variation and shows differential expression patterns between mammalian and arthropod hosts.

  1. Expansion of the pfam 01617 family of major outer membrane proteins in Ehrlichia sp.A. Findley, C. Gissendanner, and M. Spratt  gram – organism; deficient in structural components, including peptidoglycans & lipopolysaccharides  have complex protein structure in the outer membrane  membrane proteins have a potential role in adaptive strategy of organism – assisting immune evasion & host-pathogen interactions  pfam01617 – major outer membrane protein provides antigenic variation within mammalian host differential expression between mammalian & arthropod host .):
