An Unusual Mechanism of Isopeptide Bond Formation Attaches the Collagenlike Glycoprotein BclA to the Exosporium of Bacillus anthracis
The outermost exosporium layer of spores of Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, is comprised of a basal layer and an external hairlike nap. The nap includes filaments composed of trimers of the collagenlike glycoprotein BclA. Essentially all BclA trimers are tightly attached to the s...
