The Production of Curli Amyloid Fibers Is Deeply Integrated into the Biology of Escherichia coli.

Biomolecules - 31 Oct 2017

Smith Daniel R, Price Janet E, Burby Peter E, Blanco Luz P, Chamberlain Justin, Chapman Matthew R

Abstract excerpt

Curli amyloid fibers are the major protein component of the extracellular matrix produced by Enterobacteriaceae during biofilm formation. Curli are required for proper biofilm development and environmental persistence by Escherichia coli. Here, we present a complete and vetted genetic analysis of functional amyloid fiber biogenesis. The Keio collection of single gene deletions was screened on Congo red indicator...
