A shape-shifting redox foldase contributes to Proteus mirabilis copper resistance

Bacterial disulfide isomerases shuffle incorrect disulfide bonds. Here, the authors structurally characterize the disulfide isomerase ScsC fromProteus mirabilisand identify a functionally important shape-shifting motif that allows ScsC to adopt a diverse range of conformations and enable swarming in...
