<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>Fibronectin Binding Protein-A Induces Motile Attachment Sites and Complex Actin Remodeling in Living Endothelial Cells
5 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus fibronectin binding protein-A (FnBPA) stimulates alpha5beta1-integrin signaling and actin rearrangements in host cells. This eventually leads to invasion of the staphylococci and their targeting to lysosomes. Using live cell imaging, we found that FnBPA-expressing staphylococci induce formation of fibrillar adhesion-like attachment sites and translocate together with them on the surface of...
