Identification of the coiled-coil domains of Enterococcus faecalis DivIVA that mediate oligomerization and their importance for biological function.

Abstract excerpt

Bacillus subtilis (Bs) DivIVA comprises coiled-coil structures and self-associates forming a 10-12 mer complex in vitro. Using bioinformatic approaches, we determined that Enterococcus faecalis (Ef) DivIVA comprises four coiled-coil domains, one at the N-terminus, the second and the third in the central region of the protein and the fourth at the C-terminus. We determined that DivIVA(Ef) self-interacts and forms...
