| SpaP |
 |
Genes encoding AgI/II orthologous proteins were widely dispersed among the streptococci. The primary sequences of AgI/II proteins are comprised of six distinct regions: LP (leader peptide), A (Ala-rich repeats), V (variable or divergent region), P (Pro-rich repeats), C (C-terminal region), CWA (cell-wall anchorage region). Affinity of AgI/II-like proteins for binding salivary glycoproteins is a common feature of this protein family and the A and V regions were found to carry adhesion epitopes associated with these interactions. ... |

ChiRP
(Chitin-regulated pilus) |
|
Also known as PilA pilus. PilA is involved in biofilm formation, adherence to human epithelial cells. ... |
|
Flp pili
(Fimbrial low-molecular-weight protein pili) |
|
Flp pili are polymers of the mature Flp pilin protein, and they are assembled and secreted by a complex of proteins encoded by the tad operon. ... |
|
GbpA
(N-Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)-binding protein A) |
|
Mucin contains extensively different types of carbohydrates, the residue, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc), is one of the most abundant sugars in the carbohydrate side chains. ... |
|
IlpA
(Immunogenic lipoprotein A) |
|
Dual functions as an adhesin and an immunostimulant. A lipoprotein that stimulates production of proinflammatory cytokines via TLR2 in human monocytes. Involved in bacterial adherence to host cells. ... |
|
MAM7
(Multivalent adhesion molecule 7) |
|
MAM7 is conserved in many Gram-negative bacteria, contains a transmembrane motif at the N terminus and seven mammalian cell entry (mce) domains that are also found in Mycobacterium spp. and some Gram positive bacteria species. ... |
|
MSHA pili
(Mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin pili) |
|
Plays important role in biofilm formation. Crucial for surface selection, irreversible attachment, and ultimately microcolony formation. ... |
|
| OmpU |
|
Conserved major outer membrane porin, widely present in pathogenic vibrio. Mediating attachment for the bacterium to a host cells. Inducing IL-8 expression in human intestinal epithelial cells. ... |
|
TCP
(Toxin-coregulated pilus) |
|
tcp gene cluster are on a pathogenicity island (VPI) and a portion of the genome from the single-strand filamentous phage VPIΦ. TCP is a bundle surface structure, regulated by the same factors as CT, the ToxR/ToxT regulatory cascade. ... |
|
VpadF
(V. parahaemolyticus adhesive factor) |
|
Consists of a putative transmembrane domain at the N-terminal, followed by five bacterial Ig-like tandem repeats. Homologous of Leptospira interrogans adhesin LigA and LigB, which possess 13 and 12 bacterial Ig-like tandem repeats. ... |
