Lipoprotein PsaA in Virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae: Surface Accessibility and Role in Protection from Superoxide

PsaA of Streptococcus pneumoniae, originally believed to be an adhesin, is the lipoprotein component of an Mn(2+) transporter. Mutations in psaA cause deficiencies in growth, virulence, adherence, and the oxidative stress response. Immunofluorescence microscopy shows that PsaA is hidden beneath the...
