Mycoplasma genitalium adhesin P110 binds sialic-acid human receptors

How the Mycoplasma genitalium cytadhesins P140 and P110 promote host cell invasion remains poorly understood. Here, combining structural analysis with functional assays, Aparicio et al. identify the P110 domain that binds to sialylated receptors essential for mycoplasma cytadherence.
