Information about the mutated molecule: MUTATION: cydB is a gene that is part of the cydAB operon encoding cytochrome bd oxidase , which catalyzes an alternate terminal electron transport step in bacterial respiration. Transposon (Tn5) mutagenesis of B abortus cydB was severely attenuated for intracellular survival. Unlike the virulent strain 2308, the Brucella cydB::Tn5 mutant was severely compromised for survival in the spleens of inoculated mice [Ref6477:Endley et al., 2001]. The cydB and cydD mutants are also defective for the intracellular growth of B abortus and B suis, suggesting that functional cytochrome bd oxidase is required for growth in an intracellular environment [Ref6477:Endley et al., 2001].
