The molecular basis of functional bacterial amyloid polymerization and nucleation.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 1 Aug 2008

Wang Xuan, Hammer Neal D, Chapman Matthew R

Abstract excerpt

Amyloid fibers are filamentous proteinaceous structures commonly associated with mammalian neurodegenerative diseases. Nucleation is the rate-limiting step of amyloid propagation, and its nature remains poorly understood. Escherichia coli assembles functional amyloid fibers called curli on the ce...
