Versatility of choline metabolism and choline-binding proteins in Streptococcus pneumoniae and commensal streptococci.

FEMS microbiology reviews - 1 May 2009

Hakenbeck Regine, Madhour Abderrahim, Denapaite Dalia, Brückner Reinhold

Abstract excerpt

The pneumococcal choline-containing teichoic acids are targeted by cholinebinding proteins (CBPs), major surface components implicated in the interaction with host cells and bacterial cell physiology. CBPs also occur in closely related commensal species, Streptococcus oralis and Streptococcus mitis, and many strains of these species contain choline in their cell wall. Physiologically relevant CBPs including cell...
