S-layer anchoring and localization of an S-layer-associated protease in Caulobacter crescentus.
The S-layer of the gram-negative bacterium Caulobacter crescentus is composed of a single protein, RsaA, that is secreted and assembled into a hexagonal crystalline array that covers the organism. Despite the widespread occurrence of comparable bacterial S-layers, little is known about S-layer attachment to cell surfaces, especially for gram-negative organisms. Having preliminary indications th...
متن کاملTranscriptional analysis of the Aeromonas salmonicida S-layer protein gene vapA.
The vapA gene of Aeromonas salmonicida encodes the subunit of the surface protein array known as A-layer. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the 374 bp of DNA immediately upstream of vapA revealed two potential promoter sequences and other possible regulatory sequences. Sequencing and polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that the region was conserved in wild-type A. salmonicida. Primer extens...
متن کاملS-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 کاملConserved S-Layer-Associated Proteins Revealed by Exoproteomic Survey of S-Layer-Forming Lactobacilli.
The Lactobacillus acidophilus homology group comprises Gram-positive species that include L. acidophilus, L. helveticus, L. crispatus, L. amylovorus, L. gallinarum, L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, L. gasseri, and L. johnsonii. While these bacteria are closely related, they have varied ecological lifestyles as dairy and food fermenters, allochthonous probiotics, or autochthonous commensals of ...
متن کاملIsolation and Study of S-layer Nanostructure of Deinococcus Radiodurans R1
Crystalline surface layer proteins (S-layer proteins) have considerable potential for the crystalline arrays in biotechnology, biomimetics and nonlife applications, including areas such as microelectronics and molecular nanotechnology. The extensive application potential of surface layers in nanobiotechnology is according to the particular inherent attributes of the single molecular arrays cons...
