Novel topology of BfpE, a cytoplasmic membrane protein required for type IV fimbrial biogenesis in enteropathogenic Escherichia coli.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 2001

Blank T E, Donnenberg M S

Abstract excerpt

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) produces the bundle-forming pilus (BFP), a type IV fimbria that has been implicated in virulence, autoaggregation, and localized adherence to epithelial cells. The bfpE gene is one of a cluster of bfp genes previously shown to encode functions that direct BFP biosynthesis. Here, we show that an EPEC strain carrying a nonpolar mutation in bfpE fails to autoaggregate, adhere...
