Depositor Comments

This plasmid uses the T7lac promoter to express in E. coli the mature (lacking the signal peptide), wild-type protein containing an N-terminal PelB signal peptide + His10 + mature maltose binding protein + TEV protease cleavage site. The gene encoding the protein does not have the same DNA sequence as B. burgdorferi because the gene has been optimized for expression in E. coli.
