A filamentous hemagglutinin-like protein of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, the phytopathogen responsible for citrus canker, is involved in bacterial virulence. [PDF]
Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, the phytopathogen responsible for citrus canker has a number of protein secretion systems and among them, at least one type V protein secretion system belonging to the two-partner secretion pathway. This system is mainly

A reassortant H9N2 influenza virus containing 2009 pandemic H1N1 internal-protein genes acquired enhanced pig-to-pig transmission after serial passages in swine [PDF]
Avian H9N2 and 2009 pandemic H1N1 (pH1N1) influenza viruses can infect pigs and humans, raising the concern that H9N2: pH1N1 reassortant viruses could emerge.

Heparin-inhibitable lectin activity of the filamentous hemagglutinin adhesin of Bordetella pertussis [PDF]
Bordetella pertussis, the etiologic agent of whooping cough, produces an outer membrane-associated filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) which is the major adhesin of this organism. FHA exhibits a lectin-like activity for heparin and dextran sulfate. By using in vitro adherence assays to cultured epithelial cells, the attachment of B.

Adhesion and host cell modulation: critical pathogenicity determinants of
Bartonella henselae, the agent of cat scratch disease and the vasculoproliferative disorders bacillary angiomatosis and peliosis hepatis, contains to date two groups of described pathogenicity factors: adhesins and type IV secretion systems.

Super-resolution microscopy reveals significant impact of M2e-specific monoclonal antibodies on influenza A virus filament formation at the host cell surface [PDF]
Influenza A virions are highly pleomorphic, exhibiting either spherical or filamentous morphology. The influenza A virus strain A/Udorn/72 (H3N2) produces copious amounts of long filaments on the surface of infected cells where matrix protein 1(M1) and 2

Contribution of Bordetella bronchiseptica filamentous hemagglutinin and pertactin to respiratory disease in swine. [PDF]
ABSTRACTBordetella bronchisepticais pervasive in swine populations and plays multiple roles in respiratory disease. Most studies addressing virulence factors ofB. bronchisepticaare based on isolates derived from hosts other than pigs. Two well-studied virulence factors implicated in the adhesion process are filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) and pertactin

The role of influenza neuraminidase transmembrane domain on budding and virus morphology [PDF]
Influenza A virus neuraminidase (NA), a type II transmembrane glycoprotein plays a role in the cleavage of sialic acids and facilitating the release of mature virions from the surface of infected cells. NA has also previously been shown to play a role in
