Essential role of calcium in extending RTX adhesins to their target
RTX adhesins are long, multi-domain proteins present on the outer membrane of many Gram-negative bacteria. From this vantage point, adhesins use their distal ligand-binding domains for surface attachment leading to biofilm formation. To expand the reach of the ligand-binding domains, RTX adhesins ma...
