The major outer membrane protein of chlamydial elementary bodies was identified in dimer, trimer, and other multimeric forms. These natural multimers were stabilized by disulfide-mediated cross-linking. Such cross-linking of outer membrane proteins may play an important role in the formation and evolution of chlamydial cell wall structure.
衣原体原体的主要外膜蛋白以二聚体、三聚体和其他多聚体形式被鉴定出来。这些天然多聚体通过二硫键介导的交联得以稳定。外膜蛋白的这种交联可能在衣原体细胞壁结构的形成和演化中发挥重要作用。
