Mutational analysis of plasmid R64 thin pilus prepilin: the entire prepilin sequence is required for processing by type IV prepilin peptidase.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 1998

Horiuchi T, Komano T

Abstract excerpt

The thin pili of IncI1 plasmid R64, which is required for conjugation in liquid media, belong to the type IV pilus family. They consist of a major subunit, the pilS product, and a minor component, one of the seven pilV products. The pilS product is first synthesized as a 22-kDa prepilin, processed to a 19-kDa mature pilin by the function of the pilU product, and then secreted outside the cell. The mature pilin is...
