Amyloid structures as biofilm matrix scaffolds
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
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
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
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 ... -
Study of the molecular mechanisms underlying Bap-mediated cell-cell interactions in Staphylococcus aureus
La mayoría de los microorganismos son capaces de vivir en comunidades sésiles, siendo esta forma de crecimiento bastante más frecuente que la forma de vida planctónica. En estas comunidades microbianas, conocidas como ...
