Caulobacter crescentus synthesizes an S-layer-editing metalloprotease possessing a domain sharing sequence similarity with its paracrystalline S-layer protein.

Abstract excerpt

Strains of Caulobacter crescentus elaborate an S-layer, a two-dimensional protein latticework which covers the cell surface. The S-layer protein (RsaA) is secreted by a type I mechanism (relying on a C-terminal signal) and is unusual among type I secreted proteins because high levels of protein are produced continuously. In efforts to adapt the S-layer for display of foreign peptides and proteins, we noted a...
