Characterization of the interaction between the chlamydial adhesin OmcB and the human host cell.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Dec 2013

Fechtner Tim, Stallmann Sonja, Moelleken Katja, Meyer Klaus L, Hegemann Johannes H

Abstract excerpt

In a previous study, we reported that the OmcB protein from Chlamydia pneumoniae mediates adhesion of the infectious elementary body to human HEp-2 cells by interacting with heparin/heparan sulfate-like glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) via basic amino acids located in the first of a pair of XBBXBX heparin-binding motifs (K. Moelleken and J. H. Hegemann, Mol. Microbiol. 67:403-419, 2008). In the present study, we show...
