Streptococcus pneumoniae recruits complement factor H through the amino terminus of CbpA.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 2 Jun 2006

Lu Ling, Ma Yueyun, Zhang Jing-Ren

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae, a human pathogen, is naturally capable of colonizing the upper airway and sometimes disseminating to remote tissue sites. Previous studies have shown that S. pneumoniae is able to evade complement-mediated innate immunity by recruiting complement factor H (FH), a complement alternative pathway inhibitor. Pneumococcal binding to FH has been attributed to choline-binding protein A (CbpA)...
