Study of adhesin from Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans local isolate on alveolar bone destruction in aggressive periodontitis disease [PDF]

Journal of Biological Researches, 2016
Aggregatibacter actimycetemcomitans produces several virulence factors involved in the colonization of the oral cavity, destruction and inhibition of regeneration of the periodontal tissues and evasion of host defense mechanisms.

Structure of the Head of the Bartonella Adhesin BadA [PDF]

, 2008
Trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs) are a major class of proteins by which pathogenic proteobacteria adhere to their hosts. Prominent examples include Yersinia YadA, Haemophilus Hia and Hsf, Moraxella UspA1 and A2, and Neisseria NadA.

A Tail of Phage Adhesins [PDF]

Structure, 2018
In this issue of Structure, Dunne et al. (2018) unveil the architecture of Salmonella phage S16 adhesin. The structure unravels a beads-on-a-string topology consisting of three domains of which the C-terminal glycine-rich PGII domain, located at the distal tip of the long tail fiber, mediates cell surface attachment and host recognition.

Adhesion as a Focus in Trichoderma–Root Interactions

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Fungal spores, germlings, and mycelia adhere to substrates, including host tissues. The adhesive forces depend on the substrate and on the adhesins, the fungal cell surface proteins.

Catch-bond mechanism of the bacterial adhesin FimH [PDF]

, 2016
Ligand-receptor interactions that are reinforced by mechanical stress, so-called catch-bonds, play a major role in cell-cell adhesion. They critically contribute to widespread urinary tract infections by pathogenic Escherichia coli strains.

Featured Species-Specific Loops Are Found in the Crystal Structure of Mhp Eno, a Cell Surface Adhesin From Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Enolase is an evolutionarily conserved enzyme involved in the processes of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae belongs to Mycoplasma, whose species are wall-less and among the smallest self-replicating bacteria, and is an important ...

The Heat Shock Protein 60 and Pap1 Participate in the Sporothrix schenckii-Host Interaction

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Sporothrixschenckii is one of the etiological agents of sporotrichosis, a worldwide-distributed subcutaneous mycosis. Its cell wall contains a glycoconjugate composed of rhamnose, mannose, glucuronic acid, and proteins, named peptidorhamnomannan, which ...
