Lipid Anchoring of Archaeosortase Substrates and Midcell Growth in Haloarchaea

Lipid Anchoring of Archaeosortase Substrates and Midcell Growth in Haloarchaea

ABSTRACT The archaeal cytoplasmic membrane provides an anchor for many surface proteins. Recently, a novel membrane anchoring mechanism involving a peptidase, archaeosortase A (ArtA), and C-terminal lipid attachment of surface proteins was identified in the model archaeon Haloferax volcanii. ArtA is...
