Adhesin P1 N-terminal domain
The cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans uses adhesin P1 to adhere to tooth surfaces, extracellular matrix components, and other bacteria. The N terminus forms a stabilizing scaffold by wrapping behind the base of P1's elongated stalk and physically 'locking' it into place. It is suggested that the N-terminal has such a pronounced impact on P1 immunogenicity, antigenicity, folding, stability, and adherent function [1]. [1]. 25331888. An intramolecular lock facilitates folding and stabilizes the tertiary structure of Streptococcus mutans adhesin P1. Heim KP, Crowley PJ, Long JR, Kailasan S, McKenna R, Brady LJ;.

LPXTG cell wall anchor domain-containing protein
This repeated domain is found at the C-terminus of cell surface antigens [1-3]. In the Streptococcus mutans antigen I/II there are three repeats of this domain, a cleft between the first two of these forms a binding site for the human salivary agglutinin (SAG) [3].

KxYKxGKxW signal peptide
This entry represents a novel form of signal peptide that occurs as an N-terminal domain with a recognizable motif, reminiscent of the YSIRK signal peptide. (from Pfam)
Cell surface antigen I/II C2 terminal domain
This is the second domain (C2) located in the C-terminal region found in antigen I/II type adhesin protein AspA from S. pyogenes. Together with C3, these two domains form an elongated structure, each domain adopts the DEv-IgG fold. Similar to the classical IgG folds, it is comprised of two major antiparallel beta-sheets, designated ABED and CFG. For the C2-domain, there are two additional strands on the CFG sheet. Furthermore, sheets ABED and CFG are interconnected by several cross-connecting loops and one alpha-helix (DH1). The side chains of D982 and N996 in the C2-domain are involved in hydrogen bonding with the side chains of R1264 and N1295 in the C3 domain. Main chain hydrogen bonding can also be observed between S992 in C2 and N1189/G1191 in C3, furthermore stabilizing the interaction between the domains. The C2 domain contains one bound metal ion, modelled as Ca2+, and both the C2- and C3-domains are stabilized by conserved isopeptide bonds, which connect the beta-sheets of the central DEv-IgG motifs [1].Other members of this family include Major cell-surface adhesin PAc from Streptococcus mutans and SspB from Streptococcus gordonii.

GbpC/Spa domain-containing protein
This domain is found in the Streptococcus Glucan-binding protein C (GbpC) and also in surface protein antigen (Spa)-family proteins which show sequence similarity to GbpC [1]. [1]. 9009329.

LPXTG cell wall anchor motif
LPXTG-anchored aggregation substance
Aggregation substances, as described in Enterococcus, are LPXTG-anchored large surface proteins that contribute to virulence. Several closely related paralogs may be found in a single strain.
SspB-related isopeptide-forming adhesin
This domain has a conserved Lys (position 3 in seed alignment) and Asn at 177 that form an intramolecular isopeptide bond. The Asp (or Glu) at position 59, first position of the motif DDYDQ, forms hydrogen bonds to moieties in the isopeptide bond.
