Editing S-layer (section)

=== In vivo assembly ===
Assembly of a highly ordered coherent monomolecular S-layer array on a growing cell surface requires a continuous synthesis of a surplus of S-layer proteins and their translocation to sites of lattice growth.<ref name="Sleytr2014" /><ref name="Sleytr2025" /><ref name="Sleytr1999" /><ref name="Fagan2014">{{cite journal |vauthors=Fagan RP, Fairweather NF |date=2014 |title=Biogenesis and functions of bacterial S-layers |url= http://eprints.whiterose.ac.uk/97080/1/Fagan%20and%20Fairweather_for%20deposit.pdf|journal=Nature Reviews.
