We show that proteins encoded by LIC11360, LIC11009 and LIC11975 genes interact with laminin in a dose-dependent and saturable manner. The proteins are referred to as leptospiral <jats:italic>s<\/jats:italic>urface adhesions 23, 26, and 36 (Lsa23, Lsa26, and Lsa36), respectively. These proteins also bind plasminogen and generate active plasmin. Attachment of Lsa23 and Lsa36 to fibronectin occurs through the involvement of the 30-kDa and 70-kDa heparin-binding domains of the ligand. Dose-dependent, specific-binding of Lsa23 to the complement regulator C4BP and to a lesser extent, to factor H, suggests that this protein may interfere with the complement cascade pathways. <jats:italic>Leptospira<\/jats:italic> spp. may use these interactions as possible mechanisms during the establishment of infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.13-0205","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,20]],"date-time":"2013-08-20T00:24:18Z","timestamp":1376958258000},"page":"1103-1116","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Characterization of Three Novel Adhesins of Leptospira interrogans"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"89","author":[{"given":"Gabriela H.","family":"Siqueira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marina V.","family":"Atzingen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ivy J.","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zenaide M.","family":"de Morais","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Silvio A.","family":"Vasconcellos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana L.
