Probing Individual Complexes of Self-Associating Autotransporters by Single Molecule Force Spectroscopy
Self-associating autotransporters (SAAT) are proteins that play a major role in bacterial auto-aggregation. Members of this family include the adhesin involved in diffuse adherence (AIDA-I) and the enterotoxigenic invasion locus b (TibA) proteins, which represent powerful model systems to study how...
