Streptococcus pyogenes glycoprotein-binding strepadhesin activity is mediated by a surface-associated carbohydrate-degrading enzyme, pullulanase.

Infection and immunity - 1 Feb 2003

Hytönen Jukka, Haataja Sauli, Finne Jukka

Abstract excerpt

The interactions between pathogenic bacteria and the host need to be resolved at the molecular level in order to develop novel antiadhesive drugs and vaccines. We have previously identified strepadhesin, a novel glycoprotein-binding activity in Streptococcus pyogenes binding to thyroglobulin, submaxillar mucin, fetuin, and asialofetuin. The activity is known to be regulated by Mga, a regulator of streptococcal...
