Protein Domain : Outer surface protein C-like superfamily IPR036437

Type	Homologous_superfamily
Description	Members of this superfamily are lipoproteins that are probably involved in evasion of the host immune system by pathogens [ ]. Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, has the potential of producing more than 100 different lipoproteins that could become anchored to the outer membrane [ ]. One of these is outer surface protein C (OspC). OspC is a largely α-helical protein that forms a dimer with a characteristic central four-helical bundle formed by association of the two longest helices from each subunit [, ].
