Pasteurellaceae ComE1 proteins combine the properties of fibronectin adhesins and DNA binding competence proteins.

A novel fibronectin-binding protein from Pasteurella multocida (PM1665) that binds to the fibronectin type III(9-10) modules via two helix-hairpin-helix motifs has recently been described [1]. This protein shares homology with competence-related DNA-binding and uptake proteins (ComEA and ComE) from...
