Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbrial protein Mfa5 contains a von Willebrand factor domain and an intramolecular isopeptide
Heidler et al. report a structure of the N-terminal half of a bacterial fimbrial protein, Mfa5, from Porphyromonas gingivalis that is a secondary colonizer of the oral biofilm. They find a von Willebrand factor domain and two IgG-like domains in this structure. This study suggests that horizontal ge...
