Domains within the Vibrio cholerae toxin coregulated pilin subunit that mediate bacterial colonization.

Abstract excerpt

Several experimental approaches have provided evidence suggesting that a domain within the C-terminal region of the TcpA pilin, delineated by the single disulfide loop, is directly responsible for the colonization function mediated by the toxin coregulated pilus (TCP) of Vibrio cholerae. This evidence includes the mapping of domains recognized by protective monoclonal antibodies to this region, the ability of...
