A novel extracellular metallopeptidase domain shared by animal host-associated mutualistic and pathogenic microbes.
The mucosal microbiota is recognised as an important factor for our health, with many disease states linked to imbalances in the normal community structure. Hence, there is considerable interest in identifying the molecular basis of human-microbe interactions. In this work we investigated the capaci...
