Figure 5. Bartonella enzymes used to degrade misfolded or aberrant proteins and (di)nucleoside polyphosphate alarmones generated during parasitism of host cells, including a C-terminal protease (CtpA) and Nudix hydrolase (IalA).

Figure 5

Genes for these enzymes are located immediately upstream of ialB, a gene involved in erythrocyte parasitism (a linkage map from Bartonella bacilliformis is shown).
