S-layer anchoring and localization of an S-layer-associated protease in Caulobacter crescentus.

Abstract excerpt

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 that the N terminus...
