MCP5, a methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein regulated by both the Hk1-Rrp1 and Rrp2-RpoN-RpoS pathways, is required for the immune evasion of Borrelia burgdorferi. by Sajith Raghunandanan, Kai Zhang, Yan Zhang, Raj Priya, Ching Wooen Sze, Yongliang Lou, Michael J Lynch, Brian R Crane, Mark H Kaplan, Chunhao Li, X Frank Yang

“…In the tick vector, the mcp5 mutants survived feeding but failed to transmit to mice. These findings reveal that MCP5, regulated by both the Rrp1 and Rrp2 pathways, is critical for establishing infection in mammalian hosts by evading NK cell-mediated host innate immunity and is important for the transmission of spirochetes from ticks to mammalian hosts. …”
