This HMM described a domain that is often repeated in pilins such as SpaA, and that often forms isopeptide bonds cross-linking amino acid side chains, giving the pilins added strength.

This is the C-terminal half of a bacterial fibrinogen-binding adhesin SdrG. SdrG is a Gram-positive cell-wall-anchored adhesin that allows attachment of the bacterium to host tissues via specific binding to the beta-chain of human fibrinogen (Fg). SdrG binds to its ligand with a dynamic "dock, lock, and latch" mechanism which represents a general mode of ligand-binding for structurally related cell wall-anchored proteins in most Gram-positive bacteria. The C-terminal part of SdrG(276-596) is integral to the folding of the immunoglobulin-like whole to create the docking grooves necessary for Fg binding. The domain is associated with families of Cna_B, Pfam:PF05738 [1]. [1]. 14567919. A "dock, lock, and latch" structural model for a staphylococcal. adhesin binding to fibrinogen..

Many surface proteins found in Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and related lineages share apparently homologous signal sequences. A motif resembling [YF]SIRKxxxGxxS[VIA] appears at the start of the transmembrane domain. The GxxS motif appears perfectly conserved, suggesting a specific function and not just homology. There is a strong correlation between proteins carrying this region at the N-terminus and those carrying the Gram-positive anchor domain with the LPXTG sortase processing site at the C-terminus.
