Molecular Mechanisms of the Binding and Specificity of Streptococcus Pneumoniae Sortase C Enzymes for Pilin Subunits
Pili are elongated structures that protrude from bacteria and increase their virulence. The Streptococcus pnuenomae pilus island 1 pili are composed of three subunits, RrgA, RrgB, and RrgC, and are assembled by three class C sortase C (SrtC) enzymes: SrtC-1, SrtC-2, and SrtC-3. Pilin subunits are re...
