S-layer biogenesis studies in Caulobacter crescentus : RsaA anchoring and the localization of the S-layer-associated protease

Despite the widespread occurrence of bacterial S-layers, little is known about the mechanisms of attachment to the cell surface, especially in the case of Gram-negative organisms. The S-layer of Caulobacter crescentus is composed of a single protein, RsaA. After export, RsaA assembles into a hexa...
