Outer-membrane PapC molecular usher discriminately recognizes periplasmic chaperone-pilus subunit complexes.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Apr 1993

Abstract excerpt

P pili are highly ordered composite structures consisting of thin fibrillar tips joined end-to-end to rigid helical rods. The production of these virulence-associated structures requires a periplasmic chaperone (PapD) and an outer membrane protein (PapC) that is the prototype member of a newly recognized class of proteins that we have named "molecular ushers." Two in vitro assays showed that the preassembly...
