Methods in Molecular Biology, 2012 Many bacteria can assemble functional amyloid fibers on their cell surface. The majority of bacterial amyloids contribute to biofilm or other community behaviors where cells interact with a surface or with another cell. Bacterial amyloids, like all functional amyloids, share structural and biochemical properties with disease-associated eukaryotic ...

The Role of Functional Amyloids in Bacterial Virulence
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2018 Amyloid fibrils are best known as a product of human and animal protein misfolding disorders, where amyloid formation is associated with cytotoxicity and disease. It is now evident that for some proteins, the amyloid state constitutes the native structure and serves a functional role.

Bacterial Amyloids: The Link Between Bacterial Infections and Autoimmunity
Trends in Microbiology, 2019 Molecular mimicry is a common mechanism used by many bacteria to evade immune responses. In recent years, it has become evident that bacteria also decorate the extracellular matrix (ECM) of their biofilms with molecules that resemble those of the host.

Fold Modulating Function: Bacterial Toxins to Functional Amyloids [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Many bacteria produce cytolytic toxins that target host cells or other competing microbes. It is well known that environmental factors control toxin expression, however, recent work suggests that some bacteria manipulate the fold of these protein toxins to control their function.

Characterization of Bacterial Amyloids by Nano-infrared Spectroscopy
2022Atomic 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 ...

Bacterial Amyloids: Biogenesis and Biomaterials
2019Functional 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.
