Force Spectra of a Single CsgA Molecule and Amyloid Nanofibers Assembled From Chimeric Mfp5 and CBD Proteins: Implications for a Nanomaterial Testing Machine

open access: yesACS Applied Nano Materials, 2022
The CsgA protein in Escherichia coli can self-assemble into an amyloid nanofiber, making it a promising biomaterial capable of resisting harsh environments.

Adhesion Mechanisms of Curli Subunit CsgA to Abiotic Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesScience Advances, 2016

CsgA, an Extracellular Protein Essential for Myxococcus xanthus Development. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1990
CsgA mutants of Myxococcus xanthus appear to be defective in producing an extracellular molecule essential for the developmental behaviors of this bacterium. The csgA gene encodes a 17.7-kilodalton polypeptide whose function and cellular location were investigated with immunological probes. Large quantities of the CsgA gene product were obtained from a

Developmental Bypass Suppression of Myxococcus xanthus csgA Mutations. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1989
The csgA mutations of Myxococcus xanthus (formerly known as spoC) inhibit sporulation as well as rippling, which involves ridges of cells moving in waves. Sporulating revertants of CsgA cells were isolated by direct selection, since spores are much more resistant to heat and ultrasonic treatment than are vegetative cells. The revertants fell into seven

Dimerization Energetics of Curli Fiber Subunits CsgA and CsgB [PDF]

open access: yesNpj Computational Materials, 2019
AbstractCurli fibers are functional amyloids that exhibit strong adhesion and robust self-assembly as biofilm structural components; however, the binding energetics and mechanical properties of wild-type curli are not well understood. To address this, we present dimer structures made up of the major and minor curli subunits (CsgA and CsgB), perform ...

Structural effects of charge destabilization and amino acid substitutions in amyloid fragments of CsgA

Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2023
The most studied functional amyloid is the CsgA, major curli subunit protein, which is produced by numerous strains of Enterobacteriaceae. Although CsgA sequences are highly conserved, they exhibit species diversity, which reflects the specific evolutionary and functional adaptability of the major curli subunit.

Comparison of the QTDT Analysis for IgE in the CSGA Data Set

Genetic Epidemiology, 2001
Over the past few years at least 13 transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT)‐based tests have been developed for quantitative (Q) traits for the assessment of association or linkage in the presence of the other. A total of six of these QTDT methods were used to analyze log10IgE in the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Asthma data set.

Temperature-Driven CsgA-Enhanced Mutant Enable Distinct Self-Assembly

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
Functional coating materials have found extensive applications across various technological fields. However, the effectiveness of these coating depends critically on the choice of an appropriate medium. In this study, we developed an advanced "molecular glue", a CsgA variant known as CsgA-pro, which can serve as a versatile medium for biotherapy.

Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid (NDGA) Inhibits CsgA Polymerization, Bacterial Amyloid Biogenesis, and Biofilm Formation

ChemBioChem, 2023
AbstractEscherichia coli and other Enterobacteriaceae thrive in robust biofilm communities through the coproduction of curli amyloid fibers and phosphoethanolamine cellulose. Curli promote adhesion to abiotic surfaces and plant and human host tissues and are associated with pathogenesis in urinary tract infection and food‐borne illness.
