Protein
Autotransporter adhesin BtaF
Organism
Brucella suis biovar 1 (strain 1330)
Function
Participates in bacterial attachment to several surfaces, including various extracellular matrix (ECM) components and a hydrophobic abiotic surface. Involved in adhesion to host epithelial cells and is required for full virulence in mice. Also implicated in the resistance to porcine serum.
Similarity
Belongs to the autotransporter-2 (AT-2) (TC 1.B.40) family.
