T2 |
127-346 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Pertussis toxin, a virulence factor produced by the organism Bordetella pertussis, has been shown to have functional similarities with selectins and to bind to similar sialic acid-containing oligosaccharides structures. |
T2 |
127-346 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Pertussis toxin, a virulence factor produced by the organism Bordetella pertussis, has been shown to have functional similarities with selectins and to bind to similar sialic acid-containing oligosaccharides structures. |
T3 |
347-628 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Previously, we demonstrated that the amino-terminal region of the S2 subunit of pertussis toxin contained a short six amino acid sequence (SPYGRC) which displayed reasonable homology to a sequence that constitutes a portion of the sialic acid binding site in wheat germ agglutinin. |

T4 |
629-847 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Synthetic peptides containing this hexapeptide motif had the ability to bind to sialic acid-containing glycoconjugates including the putative oligosaccharide receptors (sialyl Lewis X and sialyl Lewis A) for selectins. |

T5 |
848-1018 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Control peptides containing randomized sequences were inactive at inhibiting binding, indicating that the hexapeptide motif is important for interacting with sialic acid. |

T6 |
1019-1202 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Since pertussis toxin-derived peptides demonstrated the ability to interact with selectin receptors, we speculated that they should antagonize selectin-mediated inflammatory activity. |
