Structural highlights
1dki is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Streptococcus pyogenes. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
SPEB_STRPY Important streptococcal virulence factor which cleaves human fibronectin and degrades vitronectin. Also cleaves human IL1B precursor to form biologically active IL1B. Can induce apoptosis in human monocytes and epithelial cells in vitro, and reduces phagocytic activity in monocytic cells. Thus, may play a role in bacterial colonization, invasion, and inhibition of wound healing.[1]
