The dipeptide repeat region of the fibrinogen-binding protein (clumping factor) is required for functional expression of the fibrinogen-binding domain on the Staphylococcus aureus cell surface.

Abstract excerpt

Clumping factor of Staphylococcus aureus is a fibrinogen-binding protein that is located on the bacterial cell surface. The protein has an unusual repeat domain (region R) comprising mainly the dipeptide aspartate and serine. To determine if region R has a role in the surface display of the fibri...
