Curli functional amyloid systems are phylogenetically widespread and display large diversity in operon and protein structure. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Escherichia coli and a few other members of the Enterobacteriales can produce functional amyloids known as curli. These extracellular fibrils are involved in biofilm formation and studies have shown that they may act as virulence factors during ...

Curli Biogenesis and Function [PDF]
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2006 Curli are the major proteinaceous component of a complex extracellular matrix produced by many Enterobacteriaceae. Curli were first discovered in the late 1980s on Escherichia coli strains that caused bovine mastitis, and have since been implicated in many physiological and pathogenic processes of E. coli and Salmonella spp.

PLoS Genetics, 2023 Curli amyloid fibers are a major constituent of the extracellular biofilm matrix formed by bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family. Within Escherichia coli biofilms, curli gene expression is limited to a subpopulation of bacteria, leading to ...

The Congo red derivative FSB binds to curli amyloid fibers and specifically stains curliated E. coli. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The Congo red derivative (E,E)-1-fluoro-2,5-bis(3-hydroxycarbonyl-4-hydroxy) styrylbenzene (FSB) specifically stains the functional amyloid curli in Escherichia coli biofilms.

Microbiome or Infections: Amyloid-Containing Biofilms as a Trigger for Complex Human Diseases
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 The human microbiota is the community of microorganisms that live upon or within their human host. The microbiota consists of various microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea; the gut microbiota is comprised mostly of bacteria. Many

mBio, 2018 Curli are bacterial surface-associated amyloid fibers that bind to the dye Congo red (CR) and facilitate uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) biofilm formation and protection against host innate defenses.

Curli of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Enhance Urinary Tract Colonization as a Fitness Factor
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Curli, a type of fimbriae widely distributed in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), are involved in adhesion to human bladder cell surfaces and biofilm development. The role of UPEC curli was evaluated in a murine model of urinary tract infection. The

Assembly and substrate recognition of curli biogenesis system
Nature Communications, 2020 A major component of bacterial biofilms is curli amyloid fibrils secreted by the curli biogenesis system. Here authors use cryo-EM to visualize the secretion channel complexes (CsgF-CsgG) with and without the curli substrate and provide insights into ...
