Structural basis of cell wall anchoring by SLH domains in Paenibacillus alvei
Gram-positive bacterial envelopes comprise proteinaceous surface layers (S-layers) important for survival and virulence that are often anchored to the cell wall through secondary cell wall polymers. Here the authors use a structural and biophysical approach to define the molecular mechanism of this...
