Structure of the M-protein identified in Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. dysgalactiae and in Streptococcus pyogenes. Global alignment of the M1-protein of S. pyogenes and one of the M-like proteins detected in SDSD in this study. The comparison was performed using Geneious alignment with the BLOSUM62 cost matrix. Sequence similarity is presented as identical sites (ID) and pairwise positives (PP). The proline repeat region functions as a stalk that protrudes the active domains from the bacterial cell surface. It consists of very short proline rich repeats of 3–5 amino acids of variable quantity, making sequence alignment less informative.
