Abstract

Sugar binding proteins of the thermoacidophile Sulfolobus solfataricus function together with ABC transporters in the uptake of sugars. They are synthesized as precursors with a class III signal peptide that are normally found in archaeal flagellins and bacterial type IV pilins. The functional expression of sugar binding proteins at the cell surface is dependent on the bindosome assembly system ...
