Interaction of membrane vesicles with the Pseudomonas functional amyloid protein FapC facilitates amyloid formation
Functional amyloids (FA) are proteins which are evolutionarily optimized to form highly stable fibrillar structures that strengthen the bacterial biofilm matrix. FA such as CsgA (E. coli) and FapC (Pseudomonas) are secreted to the bacterial surface where they integrate into growing fibril structures...
