Interactions Among the Outer Membrane Proteins of the Starch Utilization System of Bacteroides Thetaiotaomicron

In this study, the minimal starch utilization system was used to study interactions among SusC, SusD, and SusG. To examine interactions between SusE and SusF, wild type and other mutants were used. For this study, several biochemical techniques such as formaldehyde cross-linking, affinity chromatography, proteolytic sensitivity, and native gel electrophoresis were used. These results showed that SusC and SusD interact with each other, and SusE and SusF interact with each other. However, I could not detect any evidence for interactions between SusG and any other Sus protein.
