Principles of surface layer biogenesis in Caulobacter crescentus

Abstract:

Surface layers, or S-layers, are a proteinaceous component of the prokaryotic cell envelope, found in almost all archaea and most bacteria. They constitute a two-dimensional, paracrystalline lattice that encompasses the entire cell, representing the outermost component of the cell envelope. Since their identification in the 1950s, S-layers have gained attention for their unique but diverse structural properties, symmetry, self-assembly, and range of biological functions. The projects descr...
