A Unique Human Mycoplasma Protein that Generically Blocks Antigen-Antibody Union
We report the discovery and crystal structure of a human mycoplasma protein, Protein M, which binds with high affinity to antibodies, predominantly through attachment to the variable region of the κ and λ light chains. Protein M broadly blocks antibody-antigen union and its mechanism of inhibition i...
