Unique structural features of a bacterial autotransporter adhesin suggest mechanisms for interaction with host macromolecules

Autotransporter proteins are localised to the bacterial surface and promote colonisation of host epithelial surfaces. Here, the authors present the crystal structure of autotransporter UpaB and show evidence for distinct binding sites for glycosaminoglycans and host fibronectin.
