Discovery of a new <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> Type IV pilus assembly factor, TfpC

2020-09-26

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria gonorrhoeae rely on Type IV pili (T4p) to promote colonization of their human host and to cause the sexually transmitted infection, gonorrhea. This organelle cycles through a process of extension and retraction back into the bacterial cell. Through a genetic screen, we identified the NGO0783 locus of N. gonorrhoeae strain FA1090 as containing a gene encoding a protein required to stabilize the Type IV p...
