PclA, a pneumococcal collagen-like protein with selected strain distribution, contributes to adherence and invasion of host cells

13 Jun 2008

Abstract excerpt

Analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae sequenced genomes revealed a region present only in selected strains consisting of two ORFs: a putative cell wall anchored protein and a putative transcriptional regulator. The cell wall anchored protein contains large regions of collagen-like repeats, the number of which varies between strains. We have therefore named this protein PclA for pneumococcal collagen-like protein...
