Abstract excerpt
SaCyp, a cyclophilin having 197 amino acid residues, acts both as a protein-folding catalyst and a virulence factor in Staphylococcus aureus. Interestingly, a region, homologous to the SaCyp region carrying 121-148 amino acid residues, is present in many putative cyclophilins but absent in well-studied cyclophilins. To determine the exact roles of this unusual region in SaCyp and related proteins, we have...
