The effect may be due to an increased interbacterial aggregation that results from the lectin-like ability of Opa proteins to bind to LOS on adjacent bacteria; A single gonococcal strain can harbor up to 12 opa genes, meningococci usually encode 3 to 4 Opa proteins; all opa genes sequenced to date contain 5' tandem repeats [CTCTT]n that cause high-frequency phase variable expression; grouped into two major classes according to the binding specificity for human surface receptors: the OpaHS-type (heparansulphate proteoglycan (HSPG) and OpaCEA-type (carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) or related molecules) |

Methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msr) are enzymes that catalyze the reduction of free and protein-bound methionine sulfoxide (MetSO) back to Met. Two structurally unrelated classes of Msrs have been described so far. MsrAs are stereo specific toward the S isomer on the sulfur of the sulfoxide function, whereas MsrBs are specific toward the R isomer |

The lgtF gene product adds the first Glc of the alpha-chain. Genes lgtA, lgtB, lgtE are responsible for the synthesis of different alpha chains. lgtG is required for addition of the fist Glc of the beta chain; lgtA, lgtC, lgtG are subject to phase variation of expression mediated by homopolymeric tracts within their coding regions |

The rfaC gene product adds the first heptose (Hep I) to KDO. The rfaF gene product adds the second Hep onto Hep I and is required for alpha-chain elongation. The lgtF gene product adds the first Glc of the alpha-chain. Genes lgtA, lgtB, lgtE are responsible for the synthesis of different alpha chains. lgtG is required for addition of the fist Glc of the beta chain; lgtA, lgtC, lgtG are subject to phase variation of expression mediated by homopolymeric tracts within their coding regions |

Opa proteins were originally identified because their expression changes the color and opacity of colonies. The effect may be due to an increased interbacterial aggregation that results from the lectin-like ability of Opa proteins to bind to LOS on adjacent bacteria; A single gonococcal strain can harbor up to 12 opa genes, meningococci usually encode 3 to 4 Opa proteins; all opa genes sequenced to date contain 5' tandem repeats [CTCTT]n that cause high-frequency phase variable expression; grouped into two major classes according to the binding specificity for human surface receptors: the OpaHS-type (heparansulphate proteoglycan (HSPG) and OpaCEA-type (carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) or related molecules) |
