Hierarchical cross-linking of a bacterial spore coat Hub protein

Khira Amara, Catarina G. Fernandes, David Q. P. Reis…·Adriano O. Henriques

The paper shows that C30 self-assembles into complexes stabilized by disulfide bonds, which are required for Tgl-mediated cross-linking during spore coat formation in Bacillus subtilis.
