The Three-dimensional Structure of the Surface Protein of Acidianus brierleyi Determined by Electron Crystallography
Acidianus brierleyi, a thermoacidophilic sulfur-metabolizing archaebacterium, possesses, like most other archaebacteria, a regularly arrayed surface protein (S-layer). The three-dimensional structure of the layer, which has a lattice constant of 19 nm and p3 symmetry, has been determined to a resolu...

Zusammenfassung: | Acidianus brierleyi, a thermoacidophilic sulfur-metabolizing archaebacterium, possesses, like most other archaebacteria, a regularly arrayed surface protein (S-layer). The three-dimensional structure of the layer, which has a lattice constant of 19 nm and p3 symmetry, has been determined to a resolution of approx. 1.6 nm by electron crystallography. The structure is highly reminiscent of the
Sulfolobus solfataricus and
Sulfolobus acidocaldarius S-layer structures. |
