Protein Family Models

Members of this family, which occur in Gram-positive bacteria such as Streptococcus pyogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, average about 170 amino acids in length, and include a C-terminal region Lysin Motif (LysM) domain, a peptidoglycan-binding domain for surface-associated proteins. The family member SPy_0802 has been called a virulence factor capable of binding host red blood cells to block immune response by white cells, and was named S protein.
