S-Layer Protein Self-Assembly
Crystalline S(urface)-layers are the most commonly observed cell surface structures in prokaryotic organisms (bacteria and archaea). S-layers are highly porous protein meshworks with unit cell sizes in the range of 3 to 30 nm, and thicknesses of ~10 nm. One of the key features of S-layer proteins is their intrinsic capability to form self-assembled mono- or double layers in solution, and at i...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of the Bacillus stearothermophilus PV72 S-layer gene sbsB induced by oxidative stress.
S-layer protein variation from a hexagonally ordered (SbsA; 130 kDa) to a obliquely ordered (SbsB; 98 kDa) protein in Bacillus stearothermophilus PV72 is mediated by an increased oxygen supply. To elucidate the molecular basis of S-layer protein variation in B. stearothermophilus PV72, the sbsB gene, coding for the 98-kDa protein, was cloned by means of inverse PCR technology and sequenced. The...
متن کاملThe S-layer of Caulobacter crescentus: three-dimensional image reconstruction and structure analysis by electron microscopy.
The regular surface protein structure (S-layer) of Caulobacter crescentus was analyzed by electron microscopy and three-dimensional image reconstruction to a resolution of 2 nm. Projections showed that the S-layer is an array of ring structures, each composed of six subunits that are arranged on a lattice with p6 symmetry. Three-dimensional reconstructions showed that the ring subunits were app...
متن کاملNail Psoriasis Triggered by the Reconstruction of Syndactyly
Koebner phenomenon is observed in a number of inflammatory skin diseases. Psoriasis is one of the most common skin diseases associated with Koebner phenomenon. Nail psoriasis may be developed independently from inflammatory arthritis and skin psoriasis. This study reports on the reconstruction of third web of a 30-year-old woman, which performed on her right, due to congenital syndactyly. Fou...
متن کاملMechanism of Ca2+-triggered ESCRT assembly and regulation of cell membrane repair
In muscle and other mechanically active tissue, cell membranes are constantly injured, and their repair depends on the injury-induced increase in cytosolic calcium. Here, we show that injury-triggered Ca(2+) increase results in assembly of ESCRT III and accessory proteins at the site of repair. This process is initiated by the calcium-binding protein-apoptosis-linked gene (ALG)-2. ALG-2 facilit...
