Evolution of host-microbe cell adherence by receptor domain shuffling

Evolution of host-microbe cell adherence by receptor domain shuffling

Stable adherence to epithelial surfaces is required for colonization by diverse host-associated microbes. Successful attachment of pathogenic microbes to host cells via adhesin molecules is also the first step in many devastating infections. Despite the primacy of epithelial adherence in establishin...
