| Accession | GenProp0022 |
| Name | S-layer |
| Type | PHENOTYPIC |
| Description | YES NO An S-layer is a paracrystalline protein layer coating the surface of some prokaryotes, often made from many copies of a single S-layer protein. The state will be set to YES if a protein surface layer is detected, even if this layer is built from a family of S-layer-like proteins rather than one and its structure is more complex. Many S-layer proteins share a small region of homology, the SLH (S-layer homology) domain, linked to binding peptidoglycan, but this domain is found also in some enzymes that are not S-layer proteins. Experimental characterization usually means an electron micrograph of the cell surface. |
