Mycoplasma synoviae elongation factor thermo stable is an adhesion-associated protein that enters cells by endocytosis and stimulates DF-1 cell proliferation.

ABSTRACT: Mycoplasma synoviae is an important avian pathogen that causes respiratory infections and arthritis symptoms in chickens and turkeys, resulting in significant economic damage to the poultry farming industry worldwide. Cell adhesion is a vital stage of Mycoplasma infection, and the proteins associated with this process play an important role in its pathogenesis. Elongation factor thermo stable (EF-Ts) is an important factor in prokaryotic biosynthesis that serves as a guanosine exchange factor for elongation factor thermo unstable (EF-Tu). To date, little is known about the role of EF-Ts in Mycoplasma infection. In this study, we identified EF-Ts as an immunogenic protein in M. synoviae through liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) screening. We constructed an E. co
