Characterization of the secretion and anchoring domains of Caulobacter crescentus SapA metalloprotease

The Caulobacter crescentus type I secretion system can be used to display foreign peptides at high density on the bacterium’s surface as part of the S-layer. Certain recombinant proteins, however, are subject to proteolytic cleavage by SapA, a unique S-layer associated metalloprotease. SapA (71 kDa)...
