The structure of the Streptococcus gordonii surface protein SspB in complex with TEV peptide provides clues to the adherence of oral streptococcal adherence to salivary agglutininThe structure of the Streptococcus gordonii surface protein SspB in complex with TEV peptide provides clues to the adherence of oral streptococcal adherence to salivary agglutinin
Structural highlights
FunctionSSPB_STRGN May bind sialic acid residues of salivary agglutinin (SAG) in a calcium-dependent reaction. The interaction of SAG with its receptor in various oral streptococci modulate bacterial colonization of oral tissue and is associated with reduced levels of dental caries. |
