General description

Filamentous Hemagglutinin (FHA) from Bordetella pertussis is a major virulence-associated adhesion factor secreted by these bacteria. It contains an arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) sequence. FHA is a derivative of its precursor FhaB.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Filamentous Hemagglutinin (FHA) from Bordetella pertussis enables the attachment of bacteria to the epithelium of the upper respiratory tract. The arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) sequence mediates the binding of FHA to sulfated polysaccharides and pulmonary macrophage integrins.
