Protein Domain : TasA anchoring/assembly protein IPR023848

Type  Family
Description  This entry represents a group of bacterial proteins, including TasA from Bacillus subtilis. Microbes construct architecturally complex and ordered communities called biofilms through production of an extracellular matrix composed of an exopolysaccharide and the amyloid-like protein TasA [ ]. TasA has the propensity to polymerize into fibres enriched in beta sheets and highly resistant to degradation or denaturation []. TasA fibres are used by B. subtilis to build a network that connects cells and may organize the rest of the components of the extracellular matrix [].
