Cell-surface anchoring of Listeria adhesion protein on L. monocytogenes is fastened by internalin B for pathogenesis.

TL;DR: Garcia et al. as discussed by the authors used immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry to identify internalin B (InlB) as the primary ligand of LAP (KD ∼ 42 nM), and LAP variants containing mutations in negatively charged (E523S, E621S) amino acids in the C terminus confirm altered binding conformations and weaker affinity for InlB.
