Asp3 mediates multiple protein–protein interactions within the accessory Sec system of Streptococcus gordonii
29 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial binding to human platelets is an important step in the pathogenesis of infective endocarditis. Streptococcus gordonii can mediate its platelet attachment through a cell wall glycoprotein termed GspB ('gordonii surface protein B'). GspB export is mediated by a seven-component accessory Sec system, containing two homologues of the general secretory pathway (SecA2 and SecY2) and five accessory Sec proteins...
