The Product of the fimI gene is necessary for Escherichia coli type 1 pilus biosynthesis.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 2003

Abstract excerpt

Site-directed mutagenesis was employed to create lesions in fimI, a gene of uncertain function located in the chromosomal gene cluster (fim) involved in Escherichia coli type 1 pilus biosynthesis. Chromosomal fimI mutations produced a piliation-negative phenotype. Complementation analysis indicated that a fimI'-kan insertion mutation and a fimI frameshift mutation produced polarity-like effects not seen with an...
