The serotype a-EmaA adhesin of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans does not require O-PS synthesis for collagen binding activity

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans , a causative agent of periodontitis and non-oral diseases, synthesizes a trimeric extracellular matrix protein adhesin A (EmaA) that mediates collagen binding and biofilm formation. EmaA is found as two molecular forms, which correlate with the serotype of the...
