The SilE protein is suspected to have a prominent role in Ag+ detoxification of silver resistant bacteria. Using model peptides, we elucidated both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the Ag+-induced α-helical structuring role of His- and Met-rich sequences of SilE, improving our understanding of its function within the Sil system.
SilE 蛋白被怀疑在银抗性细菌的 Ag+解毒中具有重要作用。使用模型肽,我们阐明了 SilE 中富含组氨酸和蛋氨酸的序列诱导 Ag+形成 α-螺旋结构的定性和定量方面,这提高了我们对其在 Sil 系统中功能的理解。
