Immunodominant proteins P1 and P40/P90 from human pathogen Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Adhesion of the human pathogen Mycoplasma pneumoniae to pulmonary epithelial cells is mediated by a transmembrane complex composed of proteins P1 and P40/P90. Here, the authors present the structures of M. pneumoniae P1 and P40/P90, show that P40/P90 binds sialylated oligosaccharides and have also d...
