Protein folding modulates the chemical reactivity of a Gram-positive adhesin

Gram-positive bacteria colonize mucosal tissues against large mechanical perturbations, such as coughing, which generate shear forces that exceed the ability of non-covalent bonds to remain attached. To overcome these challenges, the pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes utilizes the protein Cpa, a pilus...
