Structure of CfaA suggests a new family of chaperones essential for assembly of class 5 fimbriae. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
Adhesive pili on the surface of pathogenic bacteria comprise polymerized pilin subunits and are essential for initiation of infections. Pili assembled by the chaperone-usher pathway (CUP) require periplasmic chaperones that assist subunit folding ...

The influence of pH on the specific adhesion of P piliated Escherichia coli. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Adhesion to host tissues is an initiating step in a majority of bacterial infections. In the case of Gram-negative bacteria this adhesion is often mediated by a specific interaction between an adhesin, positioned at the distal end of bacterial pili, and ...

Neisseria meningitidis differentially controls host cell motility through PilC1 and PilC2 components of type IV pili

, 2009
Neisseria meningitidis is a strictly human pathogen that has two facets since asymptomatic carriage can unpredictably turn into fulminant forms of infection.

E. coli aggregation and impaired cell division after terahertz irradiation

Scientific Reports, 2021
In this study we demonstrated that exposure of Escherichia coli (E. coli) to terahertz (THz) radiation resulted in a change in the activities of the tdcABCDEFGR and matA–F genes (signs of cell aggregation), gene yjjQ (signs of suppression of cell ...

Role of sortase-assembled Ebp pili in Enterococcus faecalis adhesion to iron oxides and its impact on extracellular electron transfer

Microbiology Spectrum
Enterococcus faecalis sortase-assembled endocarditis and biofilm-associated pili (Ebp) are virulence factors implicated in enterococcal biofilm-associated infections and gastrointestinal colonization. We previously showed that E.

Characterizing Cutaneous α‐Synuclein Deposition and Seeding Activity in Parkinson's Disease Subtypes

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cutaneous phosphorylated α‐synuclein (p‐syn) and α‐synuclein seeding activity are promising biomarkers for Parkinson's disease (PD), but their clinical value remains uncertain due to disease heterogeneity. This study evaluates these two biomarkers in PD patients to inform phenotype‐specific diagnosis and disease severity assessment ...
