Structure of the N-terminal domain of human CEACAM1: binding target of the opacity proteins during invasion ofNeisseria meningitidisandN. gonorrhoeae
19 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
CEACAM1 is a cellular adhesion molecule whose protein expression is down-regulated in several carcinomas and which also contributes to the pathogenicity of Neisseria by acting as a receptor for Opa proteins. The crystal structure of the N-terminal (D1) domain of human CEACAM1 has been determined at 2.2 Angstrom resolution. The structure shows several differences compared with a lower resolution model of the same...
