Crystal structure of PfbA, a surface adhesin of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 24321492
Function
[PFBA_STRR6] Acts as a fibronectin-dependent adhesin and invasin. Binds host (in this case human) fibronectin, plasmin, plasminogen, and human serum albumin. Where the bacteria adhere to human cells there is major recruitment of microvilli which seem to fuse to cover the streptococcal chains. Antibodies to this protein reduce bacterial growth in human blood.
About this Structure
4mr0 is a 2 chain structure. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
