Bacterial Amyloids: Biogenesis and Biomaterials

2019
Functional amyloid (FuBA) is produced by a large fraction of all bacterial species and represents a constructive use of the stable amyloid fold, in contrast to the pathological amyloid seen in neurodegenerative diseases. When assembled into amyloid, FuBA is unusually robust and withstands most chemicals including denaturants and SDS.

Characterization of Bacterial Amyloids by Nano-infrared Spectroscopy

2022
Atomic force microscopy has been used for decades to study the topography of proteins during aggregation but with a lack of information on the secondary structure. On the contrary, infrared spectroscopy was able to study structural changes during the aggregation, but this analysis is complicated due to the presence of different species in mixtures and ...

Amyloid-like Properties of Bacterial Inclusion Bodies

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2005
Bacterial inclusion bodies are major bottlenecks in protein production, narrowing the spectrum of relevant polypeptides obtained by recombinant DNA. While regarded as amorphous deposits formed by passive and rather unspecific precipitation of unfolded chains, we prove here that they are instead organized aggregates sharing important structural and ...

Functional Bacterial Amyloids in Biofilms

2011
Functional bacterial amyloids constitute a group of important proteinaceous surface structures. Most amyloids are highly insoluble in water and resistant to most enzymes and thermal and chemical denaturants. Their functions in bacteria are still not well described but seem to include fimbriae and other cell appendages for adhesion and biofilm formation,

Molecular architecture of bacterial amyloids in Bacillus biofilms

The FASEB Journal, 2019
The formation of biofilms provides structural and adaptive bacterial response to the environment. In Bacillus species, the biofilm extracellular matrix is composed of exopolysaccharides, hydrophobins, and several functional amyloid proteins.
