Toggle switch residues control allosteric transitions in bacterial adhesins by participating in a concerted repacking of the protein core.

Toggle switch residues control allosteric transitions in bacterial adhesins by participating in a concerted repacking of the protein core.

Critical molecular events that control conformational transitions in most allosteric proteins are ill-defined. The mannose-specific FimH protein of Escherichia coli is a prototypic bacterial adhesin that switches from an 'inactive' low-affinity state (LAS) to an 'active' high-aff...
