Function

Bap1 is one of the major extracellular matrix proteins found in the bacterium Vibrio cholerae and functions in biofilm architecture and surface attachment. The protein binds mainly to carbohydrates and citrate anions but also has many binding pockets for different metals. V. cholerae can cause cholera if in contaminated water or food.


Implications

Structural highlights

There is a two-domain assembly which is made up of an eight-bladed β-propeller interrupted by a β-prism domain. There are metal-binding sites, which appear to help more with the structure of the protein than the function of it. Bap1 exhibits lectin activity and is believed anionic or linear polysaccharides are preferred.
