Post-translational modifications of meningococcal pili. Identification of common substituents: glycans and alpha-glycerophosphate--a review.

Gene - 11 Jun 1997

Virji M

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria meningitidis elaborate filamentous adhesins, pili or fimbriae, which belong to the type-4 structural group of pili also found on other bacterial pathogens such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Moraxella bovis and Dichelobacter nodosus. Meningococcal pili readily undergo structural variations which arise as a result of inter- and intra-genomic recombinational events. Structural...
