Residues 10–18 within the C5a Receptor N Terminus Compose a Binding Domain for Chemotaxis Inhibitory Protein of Staphylococcus aureus
13 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
Chemotaxis inhibitory protein of Staphylococcus aureus (CHIPS) is excreted by the majority of S. aureus strains and is a potent inhibitor of C5a- and formylated peptide-mediated chemotaxis of neutrophils and monocytes. Recently, we reported that CHIPS binds to the C5a receptor (C5aR) and the formylated peptide receptor, thereby blocking activation by C5a and formylated peptides, respectively. The anaphylatoxin...
