bearer of at some time only_in_taxon Brucella virulence factor disposition Brucella melitensis biovar Abortus 2308 gnd protein 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase NCBIProteinAccess:YP_418351.1 Molecule Role Annotation: 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: PR:Q2YJ89 LocusTag: BAB2_0109 This protein is a Brucella virulence factor.
