Journal ArticleDOI
S‐layers as a tool kit for nanobiotechnological applications
TL;DR: The basic principles of S-layer proteins and the application potential ofS-layers in nanobiotechnology and biomimetics including life and nonlife sciences are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
S-Layers as a basic building block in a molecular construction kit.
TL;DR: This work has shown that monomolecular lattices in S‐Layer lattices can be exploited as scaffolding and patterning elements for generating more complex supramolecular assemblies and structures, as required for life and nonlife science applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Characterization of the S-Layer Gene, sbpA, of Bacillus sphaericus CCM 2177 and Production of a Functional S-Layer Fusion Protein with the Ability To Recrystallize in a Defined Orientation while Presenting the Fused Allergen
Nicola Ilk,Christine Völlenkle,Eva M. Egelseer,Andreas Breitwieser,Uwe B. Sleytr,Margit Sára +5 more
TL;DR: The specific interactions between the N-terminal part of SbpA and the secondary cell wall polymer will be exploited for an oriented binding of the S-layer fusion protein on solid supports to generate regularly structured functional protein lattices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Construction of a functional S-layer fusion protein comprising an immunoglobulin G-binding domain for development of specific adsorbents for extracorporeal blood purification.
Christine Völlenkle,Stefan Weigert,Nicola Ilk,Eva M. Egelseer,Viktoria Weber,Fritz Loth,Dieter Falkenhagen,Uwe B. Sleytr,Margit Sára +8 more
TL;DR: Compared to commercial particles used as immunoadsorbents to remove autoantibodies from sera of patients suffering from an autoimmune disease, the IgG binding capacity of the S-layer fusion protein-coated microbeads was at least 20 times higher and should find application in the microsphere-based detoxification system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and Functional Analyses of the Secondary Cell Wall Polymer of Bacillus sphaericus CCM 2177 That Serves as an S-Layer-Specific Anchor
Nicola Ilk,Paul Kosma,Michael Puchberger,Eva M. Egelseer,Harald F. Mayer,Uwe B. Sleytr,Margit Sára +6 more
TL;DR: Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis showed that the polymer is composed of repeating units, as follows: -->3)-[4, 6-O-(1-carboxyethylidene)]( approximately 0.5)-beta-D-ManpNAc-(1-->4)-beta -D-GlcpNAc(1-->.
