Journal ArticleDOI
Infection-Derived Enterococcus faecalis Strains Are Enriched in esp, a Gene Encoding a Novel Surface Protein
TL;DR: The deduced primary structure of the Esp protein from strain MMH594, inferred to be 1,873 amino acids with a predicted mass of ∼202 kDa, reveals a core region consisting of repeat units that make up 50% of the protein, which bears global organizational similarity to the Rib and C alpha proteins of group B streptococci.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Proteins of Streptococcus agalactiae and Related Proteins in Other Bacterial Pathogens
TL;DR: Because some S. agalactiae surface proteins elicit protective immunity, they hold promise as components in a vaccine based only on proteins or as carriers in polysaccharide conjugate vaccines.
Journal ArticleDOI
InlB: an invasion protein of Listeria monocytogenes with a novel type of surface association
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the last 232 amino acids of InlB are both necessary and sufficient for anchoring this protein to the bacterial surface and a ‘domain‐swapping’ strategy resulted in a chimeric protein that was anchored to the cell surface and able to confer entry.
Journal Article
Ig-binding surface proteins of Streptococcus pyogenes also bind human C4b-binding protein (C4BP), a regulatory component of the complement system.
TL;DR: Results indicate that many strains of S. pyogenes interfere with the classical pathway of complement activation by binding C4BP to the bacterial cell surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein Rib: A Novel Group B Streptococcal Cell Surface Protein that Confers Protective Immunity and Is Expressed by Most Strains Causing Invasive Infections
TL;DR: A cell surface protein, designated protein Rib (resistance to proteases, immunity, group B), that confers protective immunity and is expressed by most strains of type III, which suggests that the Rib and alpha proteins are members of a family of proteins with related structure and function.
