Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus, GAS) is a human‐adapted pathogen
responsible for a wide spectrum of disease. GAS can cause relatively mild illnesses, such as …

The collagen domain, which is defined by the presence of the Gly‐X‐Y triplet repeats, is
amongst the most versatile and widespread known structures found in proteins from …

A large number of collagen-like proteins have been identified in bacteria during the past 10
years, principally from analysis of genome databases. These bacterial collagens share the …

Staphylococcus aureus is both a colonizer of humans and a cause of severe invasive
infections. Although the genetic basis for phenotype switching from colonizing to invasive …

The self-assembly of collagen within the human body creates a complex 3D fibrous network,
providing structural integrity and mechanical strength to connective tissues. Recombinant …

Designer Collagens are based on streptococcal collagen-like (Scl) proteins that form a triple
helix similar to mammalian collagens but that are non-platelet aggregating. In contrast to the …

ABSTRACT Plasma lipoproteins (VLDL, LDL, Lp [a] and HDL) function primarily in lipid
transport among tissues and organs. However, cumulative evidence suggests that …

Collagen is an extracellular matrix structural component that can regulate cellular processes
through its interaction with the integrins, α1β1, α2β1, α10β1, and α11β1. Collagen-like …

The streptococcal collagen-like protein-1, Scl1, is widely expressed by the well-recognized
human pathogen group A Streptococcus (GAS). Screening of human ligands for binding to …

Functionalized collagen that incorporates exogenous compounds may offer new and
improved biomaterials applications, especially in drug-delivery, multifunctional implants, and …
