In molecular biology YadA is a protein domain which is short for Yersinia adhesin A. These proteins have strong sequence and strucutural homology particularly at their C-terminal end. The function is to promote their pathogenicity and virulence in host cells though cell adhesion. YadA is found in three pathogenic species of Yersinia Y. pestis Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica.
