Abstract excerpt
Contrary to what would be expected from data in the literature, mutations in the fsoC gene of the F7(1) (fso) P-fimbrial gene cluster do not completely block fimbrial biogenesis. fsoC mutants still express small amounts of fimbriae of normal length, which carry the non-adhesive minor subunit protein, FsoE, but lack the adhesin, FsoG. The FsoC protein operates at the same stage in fimbrial biogenesis as the FsoF...
