LPXTG-anchored fibronectin-binding protein FbpA. FbpA, a fibronectin-binding protein described in Streptococcus pyogenes, has a YSIRK-type (crosswall-targeting) signal peptide and a C-terminal LPXTG motif for covalent attachment to the cell wall. It is unrelated to the PavA-like protein from Streptococcus gordonii (see BlastRule NBR009716) that was given the identical name, so the phase LPXTG-anchored is added to the protein name for clarity.
