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.
