SMART: Pfam domain KID

KID

PFAM accession number:	PF02524
Interpro abstract (IPR003900):	This group of proteins contains the KID repeat as found in Borrelia and spirochete Repeat motif-containing proteins including RepA/Rep+, RepU and various Bdr proteins. RepA and related Borrelia proteins have been suggested to play an important genus-wide role in the biology of the Borrelia [ (PUBMED:9733706) ]. Bdr proteins are polymorphic inner membrane proteins produced by most Borrelia species [ (PUBMED:15601701) ]. The bdr genes of encode proteins that form three distinct subfamilies: BdrD, BdrE, and BdrF. bdr orthologues have been appear to be present in all Borrelia species that have been analysed [ (PUBMED:12438383) ]. It is thought that BdrF2 and the other proteins encoded by the operon form an inner-membrane-associated protein complex that may interact with DNA and which may act during transmission or in the early stages of infection [ (PUBMED:15601701) ].
