Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.85Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function OSPC2_BORBG Major immunodominant protein in mammalian hosts. Required for initial stages of mammalian infection. Inhibits macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of the bacteria. Binds human plasminogen; this probably confers an extracellular protease activity on the bacteria that allows it to traverse tissue. Interaction with tick I.ricinus salivary protein Salp15 protects the bacteria from antibody-mediated killing in vitro and in vivo.[UniProtKB:Q07337] See Also Outer surface protein
