Schematic representation of MSCRAMMS and the SdrD of S. aureus NCTC8325 (a) MSCRAMMs have a common structural domain organisation consisting of a signal sequence (S) followed by a ligand binding domain (A), B repeat region (B), Serine-aspartic acid repeat region (R), wall-spanning region (W), LPXTG motif; transmembrane region (M); cytoplasmic domain (C). (b) Representation of full length SdrD protein from S. aureus NCTC8325. Details of the SdrD A subdomains N1 (54–243), N2 (244–390) and N3 (319–568) are indicated. The B repeat region consists of five repeats (B1-B5)
