S-Layer Protein Self-Assembly
Crystalline S(urface)-layers are the most commonly observed cell surface structures in prokaryotic organisms (bacteria and archaea). S-layers are highly porous protein meshworks with unit cell sizes in the range of 3 to 30 nm, and thicknesses of ~10 nm. One of the key features of S-layer proteins is their intrinsic capability to form self-assembled mono- or double layers in solution, and at i...
متن کاملCrystallization of domains involved in self-assembly of the S-layer protein SbsC
The Gram-positive bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC 12980 is completely covered with a two-dimensional crystalline monolayer composed of the S-layer protein SbsC. In order to complete the structure of the full-length protein, additional soluble constructs containing the crucial domains for self-assembly have been successfully cloned, expressed and purified. Crystals obtained from th...
متن کاملBacillus anthracis SlaQ Promotes S-Layer Protein Assembly.
UNLABELLED Bacillus anthracis vegetative forms assemble an S-layer comprised of two S-layer proteins, Sap and EA1. A hallmark of S-layer proteins are their C-terminal crystallization domains, which assemble into a crystalline lattice once these polypeptides are deposited on the bacterial surface via association between their N-terminal S-layer homology domains and the secondary cell wall polysa...
متن کاملEmerging Strategies and Applications of Layer-by-layer Self-Assembly
Layer-by-layer self-assembly is an approach to develop an ultrathin film on solid support by alternate exposure to positive and negative species with spontaneous deposition of the oppositely charged ions. This paper summarizes various approaches used for fabrication of layer-by-layer self-assembly as well as their utility to produce various devices. The layer-by-layer technique is basically use...
متن کاملLAYER BY LAYER (LbL) SELF-ASSEMBLY STRATEGY AND ITS APPLICATIONS
This report reviews the technique of layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly, in particular cases involving electrostatic interactions between thin film monolayers. LbL selfassembly is used in a variety of different applications, two of which discussed in the report are LbL MEMS and LbL protein multilayers. In the fabrication of LbL MEMS, multilayers of polymer-clay-magnetite nanocrystal are deposit...
