Clumping factor A is an MSCRAMM (Microbial Surface Components Recognizing Adhesive Matrix Molecules). It is heavily studied in Staphylococcus aureus both for its biological role in adhesion and for its potential for vaccination. Features of the sequence, but also of other MSCRAMM adhesins, include a long run of Ser-Asp dipeptide repeats and a C-terminal cell wall anchoring LPXTG motif.
