Biogenesis and functions of bacterial S-layers.

Nature reviews. Microbiology - 1 Mar 2014

Fagan Robert P, Fairweather Neil F

Abstract excerpt

The outer surface of many archaea and bacteria is coated with a proteinaceous surface layer (known as an S-layer), which is formed by the self-assembly of monomeric proteins into a regularly spaced, two-dimensional array. Bacteria possess dedicated pathways for the secretion and anchoring of the S-layer to the cell wall, and some Gram-positive species have large S-layer-associated gene families. S-layers have...
