TheTreponema denticolaMajor Sheath Protein Is Predominantly Periplasmic and Has Only Limited Surface Exposure
1 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
The recent discovery that the Treponema pallidum genome encodes 12 orthologs of the Treponema denticola major sheath protein (Msp) prompted us to reexamine the cellular location and topology of the T. denticola polypeptide. Experiments initially were conducted to ascertain whether Msp forms an array on or within the T. denticola outer membrane. Transmission electron microscopy (EM) of negatively stained and...
