Analysis of the requirements for pilus biogenesis at the outer membrane usher and the function of the usher C-terminus.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Apr 2006

So Stephane Shu Kin, Thanassi David G

Abstract excerpt

Uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli assemble type 1 and P pili to colonize the bladder and kidney respectively. These pili are prototype structures assembled by the chaperone/usher secretion pathway. In this pathway, a periplasmic chaperone works together with an outer membrane (OM) usher to control the folding of pilus subunits, their assembly into a pilus fibre and secretion of the fibre to the cell...
