Molecular interactions of alanine-rich and proline-rich regions of cell surface protein antigen c in Streptococcus mutans.

Oral microbiology and immunology - 1 Aug 2008

Matsumoto-Nakano M, Tsuji M, Amano A, Ooshima T

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Streptococcus mutans has been implicated as a primary causative agent of dental caries in humans, and its cell surface protein antigen c (PAc) is known to be associated with sucrose-independent adhesion to tooth surfaces. PAc is composed of several domains, including an N-terminal signal sequence, an alanine-rich repeat region (A-region), a proline-rich repeat region (P-region), and an anchor...
