Fluorescence assays for F-pili and their application.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Nov 2005

Daehnel Katrin, Harris Robin, Maddera Lucinda, Silverman Philip

Abstract excerpt

Conjugative pili are extracellular filaments elaborated by Gram-negative bacteria expressing certain type IV secretion systems. They are required at the earliest stages of conjugal DNA transfer to establish specific and secure cell-cell contacts. Conjugative pili also serve as adsorption organelles for both RNA and DNA bacteriophages. Beyond these facts, the structure, formation and function of these filaments...
