| Description | This group of proteins contains the KID repeat as found in Borrelia and spirochete Repeat motif-containing proteins including RepA/Rep+, RepU and various Bdr proteins. RepA and related Borrelia proteins have been suggested to play an important genus-wide role in the biology of the Borrelia [ ]. Bdr proteins are polymorphic inner membrane proteins produced by most Borrelia species []. The bdr genes of encode proteins that form three distinct subfamilies: BdrD, BdrE, and BdrF. bdr orthologues have been appear to be present in all Borrelia species that have been analysed []. It is thought that BdrF2 and the other proteins encoded by the operon form an inner-membrane-associated protein complex that may interact with DNA and which may act during transmission or in the early stages of infection []. | Name | KID repeat |
| Short Name | KID_repeat | Type | Repeat |
