• Amyloid structures as biofilm matrix scaffolds 

      Taglialegna, Agustina Upna; Lasa Uzcudun, Íñigo Upna Orcid; Valle Turrillas, Jaione Upna Orcid (American Society for Microbiology, 2016)   Artículo / Artikulua  OpenAccess
      Recent insights into bacterial biofilm matrix structures have induced a paradigm shift toward the recognition of amyloid fibers as common building block structures that confer stability to the exopolysaccharide matrix. ...
    • Bacterial biofilm functionalization through Bap amyloid engineering 

      Matilla Cuenca, Leticia Upna Orcid; Taglialegna, Agustina Upna; Gil Puig, Carmen Upna Orcid; Toledo Arana, Alejandro; Lasa Uzcudun, Íñigo; Valle Turrillas, Jaione Upna Orcid (Springer Nature, 2022)   Artículo / Artikulua  OpenAccess
      Biofilm engineering has emerged as a controllable way to fabricate living structures with programmable functionalities. The amyloidogenic proteins comprising the biofilms can be engineered to create self-assembling ...
    • The biofilm-associated surface protein Esp of Enterococcus faecalis forms amyloid-like fibers 

      Taglialegna, Agustina Upna; Matilla Cuenca, Leticia Upna Orcid; Dorado Morales, Pedro Upna Orcid; Navarro, Susanna; Ventura, Salvador; Garnett, James A.; Lasa Uzcudun, Íñigo Upna Orcid; Valle Turrillas, Jaione Upna Orcid (Nature ResearchNanyang Technological University (Singapur), 2020)   Artículo / Artikulua  OpenAccess
      Functional amyloids are considered as common building block structures of the biofilm matrix in different bacteria. In previous work, we have shown that the staphylococcal surface protein Bap, a member of the Biofilm-Associated ...
    • Staphylococcal Bap proteins build amyloid scaffold biofilm matrices in response to environmental signals 

      Taglialegna, Agustina Upna; Navarro, Susanna; Ventura, Salvador; Garnett, James A.; Matthews, Steve; Penadés, José R.; Lasa Uzcudun, Íñigo Upna Orcid; Valle Turrillas, Jaione Upna Orcid (Public Library of Science, 2016)   Artículo / Artikulua  OpenAccess
      Major components of the biofilm matrix scaffold are proteins that assemble to create a unified structure that maintain bacteria attached to each other and to surfaces. We provide evidence that a surface protein present in ...
