Identification of Yersinia pestis Pigment Receptor

Yersinia pestis autoagglutination factor is a component of the type six secretion system

“…vious results indicate that there is a difference in the properties of this component in Hms + and Hms − cells of Y. pestis (Podladchikova and Dikhanov, 2003).…”

“…Nevertheless, the AF preparation from Y. pestis EV76 has very much in common with the previously characterized pigment receptor (Podladchikova and Dikhanov, 2003). Both components have a similar electrophoretic mobility, immunochemical and phage neutralizing activities, and both promoted AA of an AAdeficient mutant of Y. pestis EV76.…”
