Sticking together: Glycogen-degrading virulence

Steven P. Smith, Edward A. Bayer

Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

In this issue, van Bueren et al. (2011) take us on a journey from a functional link between the host glycogen-degrading properties of SpuA and Streptococcus pneumoniae virulence using cell-based studies, to revealing the structural basis for glycogen recognition and degradation by this S. pneumoniae virulence factor via complementary X-ray crystallography and small-angle X-ray (SAXS) studies.
