Sequence Motifs and Proteolytic Cleavage of the Collagen-Like Glycoprotein BclA Required for Its Attachment to the Exosporium of Bacillus anthracis

Bacillus anthracis spores are enclosed by an exosporium comprised of a basal layer and an external hair-like nap. The filaments of the nap are composed of trimers of the collagen-like glycoprotein BclA. The attachment of essentially all BclA trimers to the exosporium requires the basal layer protein...
