Information about the mutated molecule: MUTATION: gnd is involved in pentose phosphate pathway. It is essential for intracellular growth inside HeLa cells as shown by its Brucella suis miniTn5Km2 transposon mutation analysis. The mutant is attenuated in the mouse model [Ref6469:Kim et al., 2003]. UniProtKB accession: Q8YAX7 PMID: 12761078 NCBIGene: 1198896 The gene gnd from the strain Brucella melitensis bv. 1 str. 16M is a virulence gene. YH BMEII1124 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase
