Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Fibronectin-binding protein B
Synonyms Not Available
Gene Name FNBB
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Multifunctional protein which promotes bacterial attachment to fibrinogen, elastin and fibronectin (PubMed:15234962, PubMed:21569203, PubMed:27387503). Promotes also the accumulation phase and the primary attachment phase of biofilm formation (PubMed:24628034). In addition, protects against the antimicrobial activity of histones. Mechanistically, captures histones and prevents them from reaching the bacterial membrane and simultaneously binds plasminogen, thereby promoting its conversion to plasmin to destroy the bound histones (PubMed:30622139, PubMed:27387503).
