Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes is an opportunistic, food-borne human and animal pathogen. Host cell invasion requires the action of the internalins A (InlA) and B (InlB), which are members of a family of listerial cell-surface proteins. Common to these proteins are three distinctive N-terminal domains that have been shown to direct host cell-specific invasion for InlA and InlB. Here, we present the high-resolution crystal structures of these domains present in InlB and InlH, and show that they constitute a single "internalin domain". In this internalin domain, a central LRR region is flanked contiguously by a truncated EF-hand-like cap and an immunoglobulin (Ig)-like fold. The extended beta-sheet, resulting from the distinctive fusion of the LRR and the Ig-like folds, constitutes an adaptable concave interaction surface, which we propose is responsible for the specific recognition of the host cellular binding partners during infection.

Figure 4. Structure of a single LRR comprising 22 residues. b-Strand and 3[10]-helix are indicated in red and blue, respectively. Side-chain bonds of hydrophobic core residues are shown and labeled in yellow. Exposed residue bonds are shaded gray, while conserved and variable residue positions are labeled in red and black, respectively.[55]
