| PF20757 | Protein M antibody-binding region | domain |
This domain is found in proteins from Mycoplasmaceae, including Uncharacterized protein MG281 from Mycoplasma genitalium, also known as protein M. This virulence protein consists of two domains. The larger one (this entry) binds the IgG light chain to block the binding of antibody to antigen. It includes a leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-like subdomain, which faces away from the antibody molecule [1].
