“…Structure prediction programs have indicated that the passenger domains of Pmps are dominated by parallel ␤-strands disposed in a helical pattern with three faces that form a ␤-helix (17,18). It has, therefore, been speculated that these ␤-helices could associate with each other to generate Pmp oligomers (20).…”

“…11 and 14) can interact with each other to form heteromeric protofibrils. If so, this would provide for greater antigenic complexity and enable Chlamydiae to adapt to a larger range of cellular niches (14,20).…”

“…The diversity in binding and internalization mechanisms between species probably contributes to differences in tropism for specific hosts and tissues. The adhesion of C. trachomatis , C. pneumoniae and C. muridarum is a two-step process that is mediated by a low-affinity interaction with heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) followed by high-affinity binding to host cell receptors 17 . OmcB (also known as CT443) from C. trachomatis L1 or C. pneumoniae mediates attachment to HSPGs 17 .…”

OmcB (also known as CT443) from C. trachomatis L1 or C. pneumoniae mediates attachment to HSPGs 17 . The level and position of sulfation in HSPGs have important roles in the binding of C. muridarum and C. trachomatis L2 (REFS 17,28,29) and may contribute to tissue tropism.…”
