DNA supercoiling and the Lrp protein determine the directionality of fim switch DNA inversion in Escherichia coli K-12
(2006)
Site-specific recombinases of the integrase family usually require cofactors to impart directionality in the recombination reactions that they catalyze. The FimB integrase inverts the Escherichia coli fim switch (fimS) in ...
Fibrinogen binding sites P336 and Y338 of clumping factor A are crucial for Staphylococcus aureus virulence.
(2008)
We have earlier shown that clumping factor A (ClfA), a fibrinogen binding surface protein of Staphylococcus aureus, is an important virulence factor in septic arthritis. When two amino acids in the ClfA molecule, P336 and ...
The Staphylococcus aureus "superbug"
(2004)
There has been some debate about the disease-invoking potential of Staphylococcus aureus strains and whether invasive disease is associated with particularly virulent genotypes, or "superbugs." A study in this issue of the ...
A potential new pathway for Staphylococcus aureus dissemination: silent survival of S.aureus phagocytosed by human monocyte-derived macrophages.
(2008)
Although considered to be an extracellular pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus is able to invade a variety of mammalian, non-professional phagocytes and can also survive engulfment by professional phagocytes such as neutrophils ...
A common theme in interaction of bacterial immunoglobulin-binding proteins with immunoglobulins illustrated in the equine system
(The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2008)
The M protein of Streptococcus equi subsp. equi known as fibrinogen-binding protein (FgBP) is a cell wall-associated protein with antiphagocytic activity that binds IgG. Recombinant versions of the seven equine IgG subclasses ...
