pneumococcal surface protein PspC, LPXTG-anchored form
The pneumococcal surface protein PspC, as described in Streptococcus pneumoniae, is a repetitive and highly variable protein, recognized by a conserved N-terminal domain and also by genomic location. This form, subgroup 2, is anchored covalently after cleavage by sortase at a C-terminal LPXTG site. The other form, subgroup 1, has variable numbers of a choline-binding repeat in the C-terminal region, and is also known as choline-binding protein A.
