Figure 4. Schematic of BBK32 deletion mutants and models of BBK32 vascular adhesion.

Figure 4

A) Deletions disrupting GAG- and Fn-binding in BBK32 (Lin et al., 2012). B) Models of the BBK32 vascular adhesion mechanism (not to scale). Model 1: Adhesion to glycosylated endothelial receptors mediated by direct BBK32-GAG binding. Model 2: Adhesion to glycosylated endothelial receptors mediated indirectly by Fn-bridged BBK32-GAG binding.
