Mechanism and inhibition of Streptococcus pneumoniae IgA1 protease

Pathogenic IgA1 metalloproteases block the initial host immune response by cleaving host IgA1. Using cryoEM, the authors here provide structural insights into the substrate recognition mechanism of Streptococcus pneumoniae IgA1 protease, and develop a protease-inhibiting antibody.
