Diverse S-layer anchoring mechanisms create an epiplasmic space in prokaryotic cell envelopes.

Surface layers (S-layers) are paracrystalline protein lattices that form the outermost boundary of many archaeal and bacterial cells. Interest in S-layer biology has grown rapidly in recent years, driven by advances in structural and bioinformatic studies that have revealed new insights into lattice organization and fu...
