Self-assembly of surface layer protein SbsC from Geobacillus stearothermophilus and common principles of Bacilli S-layers.
S-layers are (glyco)protein coats displayed on the external surface of many bacterial and archaeal species. By combining X-ray crystallography, electron cryo-tomography and SymProFold predictions, we propose the structure of the self-assembled S-layer protein (SLP) SbsC from the Gram-positive bacterium Geobacillus stea...
