Analysis of the clumping-mediating domain(s) of sex pheromone plasmid pAD1-encoded aggregation substance.

European journal of biochemistry - 1 Dec 1998

Muscholl-Silberhorn A

Abstract excerpt

Aggregation substance, a cell surface adhesin encoded on sex-pheromone plasmids exclusively found in the opportunistic pathogen Enterococcus faecalis, displays a dual function in that it mediates (a) adhesion to host tissues and (b) aggregation of E. faecalis cells to result in efficient plasmid transfer. While there have been many investigations regarding the regulation of inducible plasmid transfer and...
