Functional Families

Overview of the Structural Clusters (SC) and Functional Families within this CATH Superfamily. Clusters with a representative structure are represented by a filled circle.

Superfamily: Borrelia outer surface protein E/F

Borrelia burgdorferi spirochetes, that cause Lyme borreliosis, survive for a long time in human serum due to their ability to succesfully evade the complement system, an important arm of innate immunity. The outer surface protein E (OspE) of B. burgdorferi is required for this since it recruits complement regulator factor H (FH) onto the bacterial surface to evade complement-mediated cell lysis PMID:23658013.

Structural domains comprising this superfamily share the structure of the family of borrelia outer surface protiens E/F, which includes OspE, OspF, and OspEF-related proteins (Erp) PMID:8655548.
