Fibronectin binding to a Streptococcus pyogenes strain.
In previous studies, Staphylococcus aureus has been shown to bind fibronectin (P. Kuusela, Nature (London) 276:718-720, 1978), an interaction that may be important in bacterial attachment and opsonization. Recently some strains of streptococci of serological groups A, C, and G were also found to bind fibronectin. The binding to one selected strain of Streptococcus pyogenes has been characterize...
متن کاملType IV collagen-binding proteins of neutrophils: possible involvement of L-selectin in the neutrophil binding to type IV collagen.
To isolate type IV collagen-binding proteins, 125I-labeled human-neutrophil extracts were chromatographed on a type IV collagen-Sepharose column. The affinity chromatography-separated fraction contained the four radioactive proteins with apparent molecular masses of 28, 49, 67, and 95 kD on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Western blot analysis indicated that the 95-kD...
متن کاملThe FbaB-type fibronectin-binding protein of Streptococcus pyogenes promotes specific invasion into endothelial cells.
Invasive serotype M3 Streptococcus pyogenes are among the most frequently isolated organisms from patients suffering from invasive streptococcal disease and have the potential to invade primary human endothelial cells (EC) via a rapid and efficient mechanism. FbaB protein, the fibronectin-binding protein expressed by M3 S. pyogenes, was herein identified as a potent invasin for EC. By combining...
متن کاملStreptococcus pyogenes collagen type I-binding Cpa surface protein. Expression profile, binding characteristics, biological functions, and potential clinical impact.
The Streptococcus pyogenes collagen type I-binding protein Cpa (collagen-binding protein of group A streptococci) expressed by 28 serotypes of group A streptococci has been extensively characterized at the gene and protein levels. Evidence for three distinct families of cpa genes was found, all of which shared a common sequence encoding a 60-amino acid domain that accounted for selective bindin...
متن کاملBinding of laminin to type IV collagen: a morphological study
A mixture of laminin and type IV collagen was analyzed by rotary shadowing using carbon/platinum and electron microscopy. Laminin was found to form distinct complexes with type IV collagen: one site of interaction is located 140 nm from the COOH-terminal, noncollagenous (NC1) domain and the other is located within the NH2-terminal region. The isolated NC1 fragment of type IV collagen does not a...
