Function

FHBP_NEIMB A bacterial surface lipoprotein that binds host (human) complement factor H (fH, gene CFH), binding contributes to the avoidance of complement-mediated lysis by N.meningitidis. Binding of fH to the bacteria surface is independent of bacterial sialic acid moieties (PubMed:16751403). fH binding affinity is high enough that it may sequester plasma fH, depleting its circulating levels and de-regulating complement in the host (Probable). This protein induces high levels of bactericidal antibodies in mice (PubMed:12642606, PubMed:15039331, PubMed:15664958, PubMed:21753121, PubMed:23133374).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

GNA1870, a 28-kDa surface-exposed lipoprotein of Neisseria meningitidis recently discovered by reverse vaccinology, is one of the most potent antigens of Meningococcus and a promising candidate for a universal vaccine against a devastating disease. Previous studies of epitope mapping and genetic characterization identified residues critical for bactericidal response within the C-terminal domain of the molecule. To elucidate the conformation of protective epitopes, we used NMR spectroscopy to obtain the solution structure of the immunodominant 18-kDa C-terminal portion of GNA1870. The structure consists of an eight-stranded antiparallel beta-barrel overlaid by a short alpha-helix with an unstructured N-terminal end. Residues previously shown to be important for antibody recognition were mapped on loops facing the same ridge of the molecule. The sequence similarity of GNA1870 with members of the bacterial transferrin receptor family allows one to predict the folding of this class of well known bacterial antigens, providing the basis for the rational engineering of high affinity B cell epitopes.
