pneumococcal surface protein A. The pneumococcal surface protein proteins, found in Streptococcus pneumoniae, are repetitive, with patterns of localized high sequence identity across pairs of proteins given different specific names that recombination may be presumed. This protein, PspA, has an N-terminal region that lacks a cross-wall-targeting YSIRK type extended signal peptide, in contrast to the closely related choline-binding protein CbpA which has a similar C-terminus but a YSIRK-containing region at the N-terminus.

PspC-related protein choline-binding protein 1. Members of this family share C-terminal homology to the choline-binding form of the pneumococcal surface antigen PspC, but not to its allelic LPXTG-anchored forms because they lack the choline-binding repeat region. Members of this family should not be confused with PspC itself, whose identity and function reflect regions N-terminal to the choline-binding region. See Iannelli, et al. (PMID: 11891047) for information about the different allelic forms of PspC.
