Crystal Structure of GBS1074, an Esat-6 homologue from Group B Streptococcus
| ||||||||||||
Structural highlights
Publication Abstract from PubMedESAT-6 is a well characterized secreted protein from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and represents the archetype of the WXG100 family of proteins. Genes encoding ESAT-6 homologues have been identified in the genome of the human pathogen Streptococcus agalactiae; one of these genes, esxA, has been cloned and the recombinant protein has been crystallized. In contrast to M. tuberculosis ESAT-6, the crystal structure of GBS1074 reveals a homodimeric structure similar to homologous structures from Staphylococcus aureus and Helicobacter pylori. Intriguingly, GBS1074 forms elongated fibre-like assemblies in the crystal structure. The homodimeric GBS1074 from Streptococcus agalactiae.,Shukla A, Pallen M, Anthony M, White SA Acta Crystallogr Sect F Struct Biol Cryst Commun. 2010 Nov 1;66(Pt, 11):1421-5. Epub 2010 Oct 27.
