CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE VARIABLE DOMAIN OF THE STREPTOCOCCUS GORDONII SURFACE PROTEIN SSPB

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 19609934

Function

[SSP5_STRGN] May bind sialic acid residues of salivary agglutinin (SAG) in a calcium-dependent reaction. The interaction of SAG with its receptor in various oral streptococci modulate bacterial colonization of oral tissue and is associated with reduced levels of dental caries.

About this Structure
