Evolutionary and functional diversity of the Pseudomonas type IVa pilin island.

Environmental microbiology - 1 Jan 2011

Abstract excerpt

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, most proteins involved in type IVa pilus (T4aP) biogenesis are highly conserved except for the major pilin PilA and the minor pilins involved in pilus assembly. Here we show that each of the five major pilin alleles is associated with a specific set of minor pilins, and unrelated strains with the same major pilin type have identical minor pilin genes. The sequences of the minor pilin...
