ORF ID TF00228 (frame 1) Gene ID OTBS_0003
Position and sequences 2998...3678(226 aa) Gene Name/synonym avhB8 -
Organism Orientia tsutsugamushi str. Boryong Cluster 47 genes
Product Type IV secretion system protein VirB8 homolog
1stcategory P-T4SS 2ndcategory VirB8 Family
3rdcategory Unknown
Function
Miscellaneus Several virB and virD4 genes of O. tsutsugamushi were transcriptionally active in cultured fibroblast and macrophage cell lines as well as in experimentally infected animals. This finding suggests that the T4SS may function in Orientia and may have a significant role in pathogenesis of scrub typhus.
