Role of Staphylococcus aureus coagulase and clumping factor in pathogenesis of experimental endocarditis
(1995)The pathogenic role of staphylococcal coagulase and clumping factor was investigated in the rat model of endocarditis. The coagulase-producing and clumping factor-producing parent strain Staphylococcus aureus Newman and a ... -
Quantitative comparison of clumping factor- and coagulase-mediated Staphylococcus aureus adhesion to surface-bound fibrinogen under flow
(1995)The contributions of clumping factor and coagulase in mediating Staphylococcus aureus adhesion to surface-adsorbed fibrinogen have been quantified by using a new methodology and analysis. The attachment or detachment ... -
The dipeptide repeat region of the fibrinogen-binding protein (clumping factor) is required for functional expression of the fibrinogen-binding domain on the Staphylococcus aureus cell surface.
(1997)Clumping factor of Staphylococcus aureus is a fibrinogen‐binding protein that is located on the bacterial cell surface. The protein has an unusual repeat domain (region R) comprising mainly the dipeptide aspartate and ... -
The binding of calcium to the B-repeat segment of SdrD, a cell surface protein of Staphylococcus aureus
(1998)In the Sdr family of Staphylococcus aureus cell surface proteins, three recently cloned members (Josefsson, E., McCrea, K., Ni Eidhin, D., O'Connell, D., Cox, J. A., Hook, M., and Foster, T. (1998) Microbiology, in press) ... -
P53 CODON 72 POLYMORPHISM AND HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS ASSOCIATED SKIN CANCER
(2001)BACKGROUND/AIMS-NON-MELANOMA SKIN CANCERS FREQUENTLY HARBOUR MULTIPLE HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (HPV) TYPES. A RECENT REPORT SUGGESTS THAT ALPOLYMORPHISM OF THE P53 TUMOUR SUPPRESSOR GENE THAT RESULTS IN THE SUBSTITUTION OF A ... -
In vitro DNA binding properties of VirB, the Shigella flexneri virulence regulatory protein
(2003)The DNA-binding activity of the Shigella flexneri VirB transcription factor was studied in vitro. The protein was found to bind non-specifically to DNA, but showed preferential binding to VirB-dependent promoter sequences. ... -
PEST sequences in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum: a genomic study
(BioMed Central, 2003)Anopheles gambiae is the main vector of Plasmodium falciparum in Africa. The mosquito midgut constitutes a barrier that the parasite must cross if it is to develop and be transmitted. Despite the central role of the mosquito ...
