Cellular Microbiology: Pathogen-Host Cell Molecular InteractionsTet38 of Staphylococcus aureus Binds to Host Cell Receptor Complex CD36–Toll-Like Receptor 2 and Protects from Teichoic Acid Synthesis Inhibitors Tunicamycin and Congo RedUsing an affinity column retention assay, we showed that the purified Tet38 membrane transporter of Staphylococcus aureus bound specifically to host cell CD36 and to the complex CD36–Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR-2), but not to TLR-2 alone or TLR-2 and S. aureus lipoteichoic acid (LTA). We tested the...
