Functional Analysis of the Accessory Protein TapA in Bacillus subtilis Amyloid Fiber Assembly

1 Feb 2014

Abstract excerpt

Bacillus subtilis biofilm formation relies on the assembly of a fibrous scaffold formed by the protein TasA. TasA polymerizes into highly stable fibers with biochemical and morphological features of functional amyloids. Previously, we showed that assembly of TasA fibers requires the auxiliary protein TapA. In this study, we investigated the roles of TapA sequences from the C-terminal and N-terminal ends and TapA...
