Cell‐surface‐associated polypeptides CshA and CshB of high molecular mass are colonization determinants in the oral bacterium Streptococcus gordonii
1 Nov 1994
Abstract excerpt
The human oral bacterium Streptococcus gordonii expresses, on the cell surface, two antigenically related high-molecular-mass polypeptides denoted CshA and CshB, encoded by genes at separate chromosomal loci. The precursor form of CshA is composed of four distinct segments: (i) a 41-amino-acid residue leader peptide, (ii) N-terminal 42-878 residues, (iii) residues 879-2417 comprising 13 repeat blocks of 101 amino...
