Mechanical reinforcement of protein L from <i>Finegoldia magna</i> points to a new bind-and-search mechanism

2019-08-09

Abstract excerpt

Several significant bacterial pathogens in humans secrete surface proteins that bind antibodies in order to protect themselves from the adaptive immune response and have evolved to operate under the mechanical sheer generated by mucus flow, coughing or urination. Protein L is secreted by Finegoldia magna and has several antibody-binding domains. These domains have two antibody-binding sites with vastly different...
