- The membrane protein EsaA is a conserved component of the type VIIb secretion system. Limited proteolysis of purified EsaA from Staphylococcus aureus USA300 identified a stable 48 kDa fragment, which was mapped by fingerprint mass spectrometry to an uncharacterized extracellular segment of EsaA. Analysis by circular dichroism spectroscopy showed that this fragment folds into a single stable domain made of mostly α‐helices with a melting point of 34.5°C. Size‐exclusion chromatography combined with multi‐angle light scattering indicated theThe membrane protein EsaA is a conserved component of the type VIIb secretion system.

Analysis by circular dichroism spectroscopy showed that this fragment folds into a single stable domain made of mostly α‐helices with a melting point of 34.5°C. Size‐exclusion chromatography combined with multi‐angle light scattering indicated the formation of a dimer of the purified extracellular domain. Octahedral crystals were grown in 0.2 M ammonium citrate tribasic pH 7.0, 16% PEG 3350 using the hanging‐drop vapor‐diffusion method. Diffraction data were analyzed to 4.0 Å resolution, showing that the crystals belonged to the enantiomorphic tetragonal space groups P41212 or P43212, with unit‐cell parameters a = 197.5, b = 197.5, c = 368.3 Å, α = β = γ = 90°.…
