Laz, a lipid-modified azurin of the human pathogens Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis, is involved in defense against oxidative stress and copper toxicity; laz mutant strains are hypersensitive to hydrogen peroxide and copper. The N. gonorrhoeae laz mutant also has decreased survival in an ex vivo primary human ectocervical epithelial assay.
Laz是人类病原体淋病奈瑟菌和脑膜炎奈瑟菌的一种脂质修饰型蓝铜蛋白,参与抵御氧化应激和铜毒性;laz突变株对过氧化氢和铜高度敏感。淋病奈瑟菌laz突变体在体外原代人宫颈上皮检测中的存活率也有所降低。
