Evidence for Posttranslational Protein Flavinylation in the Syphilis Spirochete <named-content content-type="genus-species">Treponema pallidum</named-content>: Structural and Biochemical Insights from the Catalytic Core of a Periplasmic Flavin-Trafficking Protein

ABSTRACT The syphilis spirochete Treponema pallidum is an important human pathogen but a highly enigmatic bacterium that cannot be cultivated in vitro. T. pallidum lacks many biosynthetic pathways and therefore has evolved the capability to exploit host-derived metabolites via its periplasmic lipopr...
