Abstract excerpt
The pili of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are composed of 15-kDa pilin monomers that are synthesized in the cytoplasm and assembled in the membrane. Processing occurs between the synthesis and assembly steps. The propilin is cleaved by a unique leader peptidase encoded by pilD, which is adjacent to the...
