Binding of the low‐density lipoprotein by streptococcal collagen‐like protein Scl1 of <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i>
15 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
Several bacterial genera express proteins that contain collagen-like regions, which are associated with variable (V) non-collagenous regions. The streptococcal collagen-like proteins, Scl1 and Scl2, of group A Streptococcus (GAS) are members of this 'prokaryotic collagen' family, and they too contain an amino-terminal non-collagenous V region of unknown function. Here, we use recombinant rScl constructs, derived...
