Structural and functional characterization of the Curli adaptor protein CsgF

Abstract excerpt

Curli are functional amyloids that form a major part of the biofilm produced by many enterobacteriaceae. A multiprotein system around the outer membrane protein CsgG is in charge of the export and controlled propagation of the main Curli subunits, CsgA and CsgB. CsgF is essential for the linkage of the main amyloid-forming proteins to the cell surface. Here, we present a profound biochemical and biophysical...
