emm6

Gene
emm6
Protein
M protein, serotype 6
Organism
Streptococcus pyogenes
Length
483 amino acids
Function
Mediates the attachment of S.pyogenes to skin epithelial cells through the binding of the human membrane cofactor protein CD46. Also binds to the factor H and factor H-like protein 1. These interactions could contribute to the fact that the M6 protein protects the bacterium from the phagocytosis by regulating the complement activation on the bacterial surface.
Similarity
Belongs to the M protein family.
