| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Collagen-binding-proteins of Streptococcus mutans, Cnm/Cbm, have been reported to be as risk factors associated with bacteremia, cardiovascular diseases, and hemorrhagic stroke. In this study, the crystal structure of collagen-binding-domain of Cnm, Cnm30-325, was determined by molecular replacement methods, using the Cna31-344 crystal structure as a search model. The structure of collagen-binding-domain of Cbm, Cbm31-330, was modeled by SWISS-MODEL using the structure of Cnm30-325. The crystal structure of Cnm30-325 exhibits two distinct domains called N1 and N2. The structure of Cbm31-330 is very similar to the structure of Cnm30-325. N1, N2 and Linker form the hole and multiple sites in this area are related to bind to collagen, suggesting that it may be collagen-binding site.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
Cnm/Cbmにおいて、本研究により明らかとなったコラーゲンとの相互作用に関わる領域は、既知のコラーゲン結合タンパク質Cnaの領域と共通しており、この部位はコラーゲン結合タンパク質においてコラーゲンとの結合に関わる最も重要な部位であることが示唆された。
