Abstract:
For host cell adhesion and invasion, surface piliation procures benefits for bacteria. A detailed investigation of how pili adhere to host cells is therefore a key aspect in understanding their role during infection. Streptococcus pneumoniae TIGR 4, a clinical relevant serotype 4 strain, is capable of expressing pilus-1 with terminal RrgA, an adhesin interacting with host extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. We used single molecule force spectroscopy to investigate the binding of full-length Rrg...     »
