SclA, a Novel Collagen-Like Surface Protein of<i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i>
1 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
Surface proteins of Streptococcus pyogenes are important virulence factors. Here we describe a novel collagen-like surface protein, designated SclA (streptococcal collagen-like surface protein). The sclA gene was identified in silico using the Streptococcal Genome Sequencing Project with the recently identified protein GRAB as the probe. SclA has a signal sequence and a cell wall attachment region containing the...
