Structure of group A Streptococcal enolase

Function

[ENO_STRP6] Catalyzes the reversible conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate into phosphoenolpyruvate. It is essential for the degradation of carbohydrates via glycolysis. Binds plasminogen when expressed on the bacterial cell surface, potentially allowing the bacterium to acquire surface-associated proteolytic activity, which in turn contributes to tissue invasion and virulence.[1]
