A candidate for a vaccine against infectious bovine
keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) has been cloned and characterized from
Moraxella bovis. The plb gene
encodes a protein of 616 amino acids (molecular mass of ~65.8
kDa) that expresses phospholipase B activity. Amino acid sequence
analysis revealed that PLB is a new member of the GDSL
(Gly-Asp-Ser-Leu) family of lipolytic enzymes.
