Interaction of FimB and FimE with the fim switch that controls the phase variation of type 1 fimbriae in Escherichia coli K-12.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Aug 1996

Gally D L, Leathart J, Blomfield I C

Abstract excerpt

The phase variation of type 1 fimbriae in Escherichia coli is associated with the site-specific inversion of a short DNA element. Recombination at fim requires fimB and fimE, and their products are considered to be the fim recombinases. In this study, FimB and FimE were overproduced and extracts containing the proteins were shown to (i) bind to and (ii) invert the fim switch in vitro. Phenanthroline-copper...
