We investigate the
โช๏ธfunction and conservation of the bactofilin MTS
โช๏ธcooperativity of membrane binding and polymerization
โช๏ธrole of client proteins in bactofilin assembly
Thanks to the Schรคfer and Bange labs as well as our HDX and EM facilities for the fruitful collaboration!
Now published as a Version of Record, with various new results compared to the initial preprint:
Membrane binding properties of the cytoskeletal protein bactofilin
