Variability of Amyloid Propensity in Imperfect Repeats of CsgA Protein of <i>Salmonella enterica</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i>

Variability of Amyloid Propensity in Imperfect Repeats of CsgA Protein of <i>Salmonella enterica</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i>

CsgA is an aggregating protein from bacterial biofilms, representing a class of functional amyloids. Its amyloid propensity is defined by five fragments (R1–R5) of the sequence, representing non-perfect repeats. Gate-keeper amino acid residues, specific to each fragment, define the fragment’s propen...
