Fimbriae: Classification and Biochemistry
EcoSal Plus, 2007Proteinaceous, nonflagellar surface appendages constitute a variety of structures, including those known variably as fimbriae or pili. Constructed by distinct assembly pathways resulting in diverse morphologies, fimbriae have been described to mediate functions including adhesion, motility, and DNA transfer.

Coordinate gene regulation by fimbriae-induced signal transduction
EMBO Journal, 2001 Fimbriae are thread-like polymers displayed in large amounts on the bacterial surface and used by many pathogens to attach to receptors on host tissue surfaces.

To test for cross-protective capacity of two different P-fimbriae vaccines we vaccinated baboons with fimbriae purified from either Escherichia coli strain ER2 or strain JR1. The vaccinated animals showed elevated antibody titers to P-fimbriae from each of the E.

Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans fimbriae
Oral Microbiology and Immunology, 1988Freshly isolated Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans strains were found to possess fimbriae. These appendages appeared to be irreversibly lost after 30 to 40 subcultures in the laboratory. The fimbriated strains were associated with a specific type of colonial morphology designated SP (Star Positive); the non‐fimbriated variant colony was designated ...

Combining sites of bacterial fimbriae
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2007The few known crystal structures of receptor-binding domains of fimbrial tip adhesins, FimH, PapGII, and F17G, tell us that each of these structures is unique and surprising. Despite little to no sequence identity, common to them all is their variable immunoglobulin (Ig)-fold. Nevertheless, their glycan-binding sites have evolved in different locations

‘Fimbriae’ in the fungus Ustilago violacea
Nature, 1974LONG fine hairs, called fimbriae1, or pili2, are commonly found attached to the cell walls of Gram-negative bacteria2, but do not seem to have been reported in other organisms. We report here that the yeast-like sporidial cells of the anther smut fungus Ustilago violacea also produce fimbriae.

The haemagglutinins and fimbriae of Proteus penneri
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1989The haemagglutinins and fimbriae produced by 18 strains of Proteus penneri were studied and compared with those formed by representative strains of other species of Proteeae. After repeated subcultures at 30 degrees C, 12 P. penneri strains formed only MR/K haemagglutinins which were associated with thin, non-channelled, type-3 fimbriae.

Type 4 fimbriae (or pili) occur in a wide variety of Gram-negative bacterial pathogens including Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Moraxella bovis, and Dichelobacter nodosus. The commercial development of multivalent vaccines containing fimbriae representing all serogroups of pathogenic D. nodosus, N. gonorrhoeae, or M.

Asiatic cholera is an acute and often fatal diarrheal disease afflicting humans infected with the Gram-negative bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Although toxin production is directly responsible for the manifestation of diarrhea, cholera pathogenesis relies on numerous elements acting synergistically to promote vimlence.

Fungal fimbriae. IV. Composition and properties of fimbriae from Ustilago violacea
Experimental Mycology, 1985Abstract The fimbriae of Ustilago violacea consist of long protein fibrils of 7-nm diameter. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of the fimbriae of this species and of several other species of Ustilago and Rhodotorula demonstrated that they are composed of a protein of 74, 000 Da which can spontaneously assemble into 7 ...
