MrpB functions as the terminator for assembly of Proteus mirabilis mannose-resistant Proteus-like fimbriae.

Infection and immunity - 1 Apr 1998

Li X, Mobley H L

Abstract excerpt

Insertional mutagenesis studies of mrpB, a putative pilin-encoding open reading frame of the mrp gene cluster, which encodes mannose-resistant Proteus-like (MR/P) fimbriae of Proteus mirabilis, indicate that MrpB functions as the terminator for fimbrial assembly.
