NCBIGene: 1167178 UniProtKB accession: Q8FZI6 The gene aspC from the strain Brucella suis 1330 is a virulence gene. PMID: 12761078 Information about the mutated molecule: MUTATION: aspC encodes for an aminotransferase. B.abortus aspC mutant obtained from randomized miniTn5Km2 transposon mutagenesis showed decreased intracellular survival inside HeLa cells. So B. abortus aspC gene is essential for HeLa cell intracellular growth [Ref6469:Kim et al., 2003]. aspC aspartate aminotransferase
