Analysis of the prevalence, secretion and function of a cell cycle-inhibiting factor in the melioidosis pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei. by Pornpan Pumirat, Charles Vander Broek, Niramol Juntawieng, Veerachat Muangsombut, Pattarachai Kiratisin, Kovit Pattanapanyasat, Joanne M Stevens, Mark P Stevens, Sunee Korbsrisate

“…A homologue of Cif has been identified in Burkholderia pseudomallei (CHBP; Cif homologue in B. pseudomallei; BPSS1385), which shares catalytic activity, but its prevalence, secretion and function are ill-defined. Among 43 available B. pseudomallei genome sequences, 33 genomes (76.7%) harbor the gene encoding CHBP. …”
