Identification and Characterization of a Novel Heme-Associated Cell Surface Protein Made by <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i>
28 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Analysis of the genome sequence of a serotype M1 group A Streptococcus (GAS) strain identified a gene encoding a previously undescribed putative cell surface protein. The gene was cloned from a serotype M1 strain, and the recombinant protein was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. The purified protein was associated with heme in a 1:1 stoichiometry. This streptococcal heme-associated...
