Structure and mechanism of the Nap adhesion complex from the human pathogen Mycoplasma genitalium
The adhesion complex (Nap) in Mycoplasma genitalium is composed of the adhesin proteins P110 and P140 and essential for infectivity, motility and adhesion of this human pathogen. Here, the author present the structures of P140 alone and the P140/P110 complex in closed and open conformations and base...

| Sumario: | The adhesion complex (Nap) in Mycoplasma genitalium is composed of the adhesin proteins P110 and P140 and essential for infectivity, motility and adhesion of this human pathogen. Here, the author present the structures of P140 alone and the P140/P110 complex in closed and open conformations and based on their structural data and further functional studies propose a mechanism for the attachment and release of M. genitalium to the host cell receptor. |
