bearer of at some time only_in_taxon Brucella virulence factor disposition Brucella melitensis biovar Abortus 2308 lysA protein Orn/DAP/Arg decarboxylase, family 2:ATP/GTP-binding site motif A (P-loop):Diaminopimelate decarboxylase This protein is a Brucella virulence factor. MUTATION: A study with miniTn5 mutants of B. suis constitutively expressing gfp indicates that B. suis lysA gene is required for intracellular multiplication in human macrophage THP-1 cells [Ref412:Kohler et al., 2002].
