Defining the structural basis of human plasminogen binding by streptococcal surface enolase.

Defining the structural basis of human plasminogen binding by streptococcal surface enolase.

The flesh-eating bacterium group A Streptococcus (GAS) binds and activates human plasminogen, promoting invasive disease. Streptococcal surface enolase (SEN), a glycolytic pathway enzyme, is an identified plasminogen receptor of GAS. Here we used mass spectrometry (MS) to confirm that GAS SEN is oct...
