Mapping of the binding site for Mannheimia haemolytica leukotoxin within bovine CD18.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To map the site involved in Mannheimia haemolytica leukotoxin (LktA) binding and biological activity within bovine CD18, bovine x human CD18 chimeric constructs were generated and coexpressed with bovine CD11a in K562 cells. Studies with the chimeric leukocyte function-associated antigen 1 transductants demonstrate that the site required for LktA binding and biological effects resides within amino acid residues 500 and 600 of the extracellular region of bovine CD18.
