The Three-dimensional Structure of a Superantigen-like Protein, SET3, from a Pathogenicity Island of the Staphylococcus aureus Genome
1 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
The staphylococcal enterotoxin-like toxins (SETs) are a family of proteins encoded within the Staphylococcus aureus genome that were identified by their similarity to the well described bacterial superantigens. The first crystal structure of a member of the SET family, SET3, has been determined to 1.9 A (R = 0.205, R(free) = 0.240) and reveals a fold characteristic of the superantigen family but with significant...
