Microbial hauberks: composition and function of surface layer proteins in gammaproteobacterial methanotrophs
Understanding the genetics, composition, and cellular functions of the cell envelope proteins, such as S-layers, contributes to our knowledge of microbial cell biology and stress responses and molecular adaptations to environmental perturbations. In addition, this study opens a promising prospect for (nano)biotechnology applications of methane-derived self-assembling protein materials.
