The A domain of fibronectin-binding protein B of Staphylococcus aureus contains a novel fibronectin binding site.
(2011)The fibronectin‐binding proteins FnBPA and FnBPB are multifunctional adhesins than can also bind to fibrinogen and elastin. In this study, the N2N3 subdomains of region A of FnBPB were shown to bind fibrinogen with a similar ... -
Molecular interactions and inhibition of the staphylococcal biofilm-forming protein SdrC
(2017)Staphylococcus aureus forms biofilms on indwelling medical devices using a variety of cell-surface proteins. There is growing evidence that specific homophilic interactions between these proteins represent an important ... -
Staphylococcus aureus and Atopic Dermatitis: A Complex and Evolving Relationship
(2017)Staphylococcus aureus is frequently isolated from the skin of atopic dermatitis (AD) patients during flares. The normal microbiota is disrupted and the diversity of the microorganisms on the skin is reduced. Many species ... -
Zinc-dependent mechanical properties of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm-forming surface protein SasG
(2016)Staphylococcus aureus surface protein SasG promotes cell-cell adhesion during the accumulation phase of biofilm formation, but the molecular basis of this interaction remains poorly understood. Here, we unravel the mechanical ...
