This is the bacterial anchoring adhesin (CNA) of 2F6A collagen adhesin <scene name='75/752271/Collagencna/1'>A,B,C,D</scene> or sometimes represent by N(s). | This is the bacterial anchoring adhesin (CNA) of 2F6A collagen adhesin <scene name='75/752271/Collagencna/1'>A,B,C,D</scene> or sometimes represent by N(s). | ||
Based on the surface characteristics of the collagen-binding site, the proposal is that collagen-binding protein interact with collagen sequences containing positively charged and hydrophobic residues. The <scene name='75/752271/Procollagenii/1'>particular amino acid residues</scene>s in the binding protein in this case CNA interact with the residue of the collagen base on the polarity and non-polar molecules. Therefore, bacterial adhesion follows the same rule as eukaryotic binding factors. Bacteria CNA protein then wraps around the collagen active site and slightly tighten it with its CNA protein residue. | |||
