Domain annotation of trimeric autotransporter adhesins—daTAA
MOTIVATION Trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs), such as Yersinia YadA, Neisseria NadA, Moraxella UspAs, Haemophilus Hia and Bartonella BadA, are important pathogenicity factors of proteobacteria. Their high sequence diversity and distinct mosaic-like structure lead to difficulties in the annotation of their sequences. These stem from the large number of short repeats, the presence of compo...
متن کاملUpaG, a new member of the trimeric autotransporter family of adhesins in uropathogenic Escherichia coli.
The ability of Escherichia coli to colonize both intestinal and extraintestinal sites is driven by the presence of specific virulence factors, among which are the autotransporter (AT) proteins. Members of the trimeric AT adhesin family are important virulence factors for several gram-negative pathogens and mediate adherence to eukaryotic cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. In this st...
متن کاملComplete fiber structures of complex trimeric autotransporter adhesins conserved in enterobacteria.
Trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs) are modular, highly repetitive surface proteins that mediate adhesion to host cells in a broad range of Gram-negative pathogens. Although their sizes may differ by more than one order of magnitude, they all follow the same basic head-stalk-anchor architecture, where the head mediates adhesion and autoagglutination, the stalk projects the head from the ba...
متن کاملTrimeric Autotransporter Adhesins in Members of the Burkholderia Cepacia Complex: A Multifunctional Family of Proteins Implicated in Virulence
Trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs) are multimeric surface proteins exclusively found in bacteria. They are involved in various biological traits of pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria including adherence, biofilm formation, invasion, survival within eukaryotic cells, serum resistance, and cytotoxicity. TAAs have a modular architecture composed by a conserved membrane-anchored C-terminal dom...
متن کاملRecent advances in the understanding of dementia.
Progressive intellectual decline acquired in late life constitutes a major challenge to public health, in terms both of the medical and community services required to support an intellectually and physically frail population, and the physical and emotional strain on patients and their carers. Although the first scientific breakthrough occurred 80 years ago, with Alzheimer's description, using a...
