“…YadA binds well to a number of peptides that contain binding sites for eukaryotic collagen-binding proteins. For example, the leukocyte-associated Ig-like receptors (LAIRs) 1 and 2 bind peptides II-56, III-1, and III-30 (29), and discoidin domain receptor 2 (DDR2) binds peptides II-13, II-22, and II-44 (28), which are all strong-or intermediateaffinity ligands for YadA. Platelet deposition upon collagenous substrates depends upon three receptors, namely, integrin ␣ 2  1 , the activating receptor glycoprotein VI (GpVI), and GpIb, which binds to the von Willebrand factor (VWF) A1 domain, while in turn, the VWF A3 domain binds a single site in collagens (31).…”
