| Primary Identifier | IPR017039 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | Virul_fac_BrkB |
| description | Members of this family include the largely uncharacterised BrkB (Bordetella resist killing by serum B) from Bordetella pertussis. It is essential for resistance to complement-dependent killing by serum in Bordetella pertussis []. Some members have an additional C-terminal domain. Paralogs from E. coli (yhjD) and Mycobactrium tuberculosis (Rv3335c) are part of a smaller, related subfamily that form their own cluster []. This family was originally predicted to be ribonuclease BN []but this prediction has since been shown to be incorrect []. |
