Overproduction of Flotillin Influences Cell Differentiation and Shape in Bacillus subtilis
13 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Bacteria organize many membrane-related signaling processes in functional microdomains that are structurally and functionally similar to the lipid rafts of eukaryotic cells. An important structural component of these microdomains is the protein flotillin, which seems to act as a chaperone in recruiting other proteins to lipid rafts to facilitate their interaction. In eukaryotic cells, the occurrence...
