More than One Way To Control Hair Growth: Regulatory Mechanisms in Enterobacteria That Affect Fimbriae Assembled by the Chaperone/Usher Pathway

Abstract excerpt

Many gram-negative enterobacteria produce surface-associated fimbriae that facilitate attachment and adherence to eucaryotic cells and tissues. These organelles are believed to play an important role during infection by enabling bacteria to colonize specific niches within their hosts. One class of these fimbriae is assembled using a periplasmic chaperone and membrane-associated scaffolding protein that has been...
