Directing curli polymerization with DNA origami nucleators

Curli are bacterial functional amyloids that have gained interest as self-assembling biomaterial for biotechnology applications. Here, the authors show that DNA origami decorated with CsgB nucleator proteins induced the site-specific nucleation and subsequent fibrillization of CsgA proteins.
