M1 protein and protein H: IgGFc- and albumin-binding streptococcal surface proteins encoded by adjacent genes

Abstract: M1 protein and Protein H are surface proteins simultaneously present at the surface of certain strains of Streptococcus pyogenes, important pathogenic bacteria in humans. The present study concerns the structure, protein-binding properties and relationship between these two molecules. The gene encoding M1 protein (emm1) was found immediately upstream of the Protein H gene (sph). Both genes were preceded by a promoter region. Comparison of the sequences revealed a high degree of similarity in the signal peptide… Show more

“…Cloning and expression of rM1 has been described [38]. The emm3 gene and a fragment encoding the N-terminal 58 residues of the M3 protein (rM3N 58 ) were amplified by PCR and cloned into the expression plasmids pET25b (Novagen) for rM3 and pGEX-5x-3 for rM3N 58 .…”

“…Some strains showed high binding also to BSAcoated beads. Human albumin is recognized by M proteins and protein H of S. pyogenes (29), and it is possible that cross-reactions to BSA may occur. Still, all strains bound more efficiently to gp340-coated than to BSA-coated beads.…”
