Serine-rich adhesin for platelets

UniProtKB accession:  Q2FUW1

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Mediates binding to human platelets, possibly through a receptor-ligand interaction. Probably associated with virulence in endovascular infection (PubMed:15784571). Plays a positive role in biofilm formation, possibly by self-association via the non-repeat region (NRR or binding region, BR) (PubMed:20714350). Binds to and plays a role in human lung epithelial cell invasion via the L-lectin module of its NRR domain; N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) inhibits binding. Treatment of host cells with neuraminidase decreases adherence of S.aureus cells, suggesting SraP recognizes a host terminal Neu5Ac moiety as a receptor (PubMed:24901708).
