<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> type IV minor pilins and PilY1 regulate virulence by modulating FimS-AlgR activity

2017-09-21

Abstract excerpt

Type IV pili are expressed by a wide range of prokaryotes, including the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa . These flexible fibres mediate twitching motility, biofilm maturation, surface adhesion, and virulence. The pilus is composed mainly of major pilin subunits while the low abundance minor pilins FimU-PilVWXE and the putative adhesin PilY1 prime pilus assembly and are proposed to form the pilus ti...
