Disulfide-Linked Oligomers of the Major Outer Membrane Protein of Chlamydiae
AUTOR(ES)
Newhall V, Wilbert J.
RESUMO
The major outer membrane protein of chlamydial elementary bodies was identified in dimer, trimer, and other multimeric forms. These natural multimers were stabilized by disulfide-mediated cross-linking. Such cross-linking of outer membrane proteins may play an important role in the formation and evolution of chlamydial cell wall structure.
