Proteinaceous Bacterial Adhesins and Their Receptors

CRC Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 1982
The adhesion of bacteria to surfaces is an ecologically important property which enables them to colonize their natural habitats. Adhesion between bacteria mediated by sex pili and aggregation substances may also promote gene transfers. In this review, we describe the adhesive properties of bacteria (to eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, and inert ...

Bacterial Lectins as Adhesins

1994
In 1977, Ofek et al. suggested that proteins with lectin-like properties on bacterial surfaces could serve as adhesins that bind the organisms to animal cells. It was found that E. coli, bearing type 1 fimbriae specific for mannose, could agglutinate red cells. The adhesins of many pathogenic bacteria are now thought to be carbohydrate-binding proteins,

Interactions of Bacterial Adhesins with the Extracellular Matrix

1996
The role of microbial adhesion to epithelia in mucosa-associated infections has been recognized for a long time. The discovery by Kuusela in 197823 that Staphylococcus aureus strains specifically bind the extracellular matrix (ECM) and plasma glycoprotein fibronectin, Fn, launched a broad field of research on (i) how microbes, i.e. bacteria, parasites,

Crystallography of Gram-Positive Bacterial Adhesins

2011
Both Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens display a multitude of proteins and protein assemblies (pili or fimbriae) on their cell surfaces, which are often used for adherence and initiate colonization and pathogenesis. Adhesive proteins known as MSCRAMMs (microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules), anchored by a specific ...
