bearer of at some time only_in_taxon Brucella virulence factor disposition Brucella melitensis biovar Abortus 2308 omp10 protein lipoprotein Omp10 Gene name: omp10 UniProtKB: PR:Q2YIP8 Molecule Role Annotation: SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Outer membrane NCBIProteinGI: 83269030 NCBIProteinAccess:YP_418321.1 This protein is a Brucella virulence factor. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Outer membrane PMID: lipid-anchor(Swiss-Prot: P0A3N9). MISCELLANEOUS: Elicits an immune response in B.melitensis-infected sheep but not in B.abortus-infected cattle(Swiss-Prot: P0A3N9). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the rhizobiaceae omp10 lipoprotein family(Swiss-Prot: P0A3N9). MUTATION: Omp10 is an immunoreactive outer membrane lipoprotein. The omp10 mutant was dramatically attenuated for survival in mice and was defective for growth in minimal medium but was not impaired in intracellular growth in vitro, nor does it display clear modification of the outer membrane properties [Ref6473:Tibor et al., 2002].
