Unfolding and refolding properties of S pili on extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli.

European biophysics journal : EBJ - 1 Jul 2010

Abstract excerpt

S pili are members of the chaperone-usher-pathway-assembled pili family that are predominantly associated with neonatal meningitis (S(II)) and believed to play a role in ascending urinary tract infections (S(I)). We used force-measuring optical tweezers to characterize the intrinsic biomechanical properties and kinetics of S(II) and S(I) pili. Under steady-state conditions, a sequential unfolding of the layers in...
