Origins of glycan selectivity in streptococcal Siglec-like adhesins suggest mechanisms of receptor adaptation

Streptococcal siglec-like binding regions (SLBRs) selectively bind cell surface glycans, but the basis for this selectivity is not understood. Here, the authors identify selectivity-modulating SLBR regions and study how changes in SLBR glycan selectivity affect interactions with human glycoprotein r...
