| Type | Repeat |
| Description | This entry represents a region of about 79 amino acids found tandemly repeated up to fourteen times within the proteins that contain it. The repeats lack cysteines and are highly conserved, even at the DNA level, within and between proteins [ ]. Proteins containing these repeats include the Rib and alpha surface antigens of group B Streptococcus, Esp of Enterococcus faecalis (Streptococcus faecalis), and related proteins of Lactobacillus. Most members of this protein family also have the cell wall anchor motif, LPXTG, shared by many staphyloccal and streptococcal surface antigens. These repeats are thought to define protective epitopes and may play a role in generating phenotypic and genotypic variation []. |
