摘要：

We have previously identified a chlamydial protein, chlamyclial protease/proteasome-like activity factor (CPAF), for degrading host transcription factors in cells infected with the human chlamyclial species Chlamydia trachomatis or Chlamydia pneumoniae. We now report that functional CPAF was also produced during infection with the species Chlamydia muridarum, Chlamydia psittaci, and Chlamydia caviae, which primarily infect nonhuman hosts.
