Virulence of Acinetobacter baumannii in proteins moonlighting.

A S Smiline Girija1, Pitchaipillai Sankar Ganesh2.   

Abstract

The diverse function of the moonlighting proteins in Acinetobacter baumannii is highly associated with its virulence that had spurred renewed attention in recent years. The existing and newly formed hypothetical moonlighting proteins, evolve without jeopardizing the structural constraints of their original roles. It is yet uncertain and undefined to lucidly describe the functions of the moonlighting proteins in A. baumannii albeit its overwhelming evidences on few proteins. This commentary thus highlights the expression and occurrence of potent moonlighting proteins in A. baumannii, rendering virulence to the strains and the reasons to target the same portraying an active arena of research.
