Convergent behavior of extended stalk regions from staphylococcal surface proteins with widely divergent sequence patterns

A. E. Yarawsky, A. L. Ori, L. R. English, S. T. Whitten, A. B. Herr

This study shows that stalk regions from different staphylococcal CWA proteins resist compaction and adopt extended conformations, despite sequence divergence.

The assembly landscape of the complete B-repeat superdomain from Staphylococcus epidermidis strain 1457

A. E. Yarawsky, A. B. Herr

This paper examines Zn-induced assembly of the B-repeat superdomain from Staphylococcus epidermidis strain 1457, showing it forms amyloid fibrils through different intermediate oligomeric states compared to strain RP62A.
