Abstract excerpt
Cell surface protein SSP-5 in the oral bacterium Streptococcus gordonii M5 binds human salivary agglutinin in a Ca(2+)-dependent reaction (D.R. Demuth, E.E. Golub, and D. Malamud, J. Biol. Chem. 265:7120-7126, 1990). The region of the gene encoding an N-terminal segment of a related polypeptide (SspA) in S. gordonii DL1 (Challis) was isolated following polymerase chain reaction amplification of genomic DNA. The...
