C-Terminal Lysine Residue of Pneumococcal Triosephosphate Isomerase Contributes to Its Binding to Host Plasminogen

C-Terminal Lysine Residue of Pneumococcal Triosephosphate Isomerase Contributes to Its Binding to Host Plasminogen

The main causative agent of pneumonia, <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>, is also responsible for invasive diseases. <i>S. pneumoniae</i> recruits human plasminogen for the invasion and colonization of host tissues. We previously discovered that <i>S. pneumoniae</i>...
