Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tip-mediated cytadherence in Mycoplasma genitalium requires the structural and functional stability of the P140 adhesin, its operon-related protein P110, and the high molecular weight protein MG218 (190-kDa). Disruption mutants of mg218 unable to express MG218 exhibit both a non-cytadhering phenotype and P140/P110 instability, while disruption mutants that synthesize a truncated MG218 (160 kDa) retain...
