Synthesis of a Putative Antigenic Heptapeptide from Escherichia Coli K88 ab Protein Fimbriae. [PDF]
Acta Chemica Scandinavica, 1986 The heptapeptide Tyr-Arg-Glu-Asp-Met-Glu-Tyr-OMe, spanning region 213-219 of Escherichia coli K88 ab protein fimbriae, was synthesized with an overall yield of 37% using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) preactivation in all condensation reactions. The C-terminal was protected as the methyl ester. The protection scheme of

Std fimbriae-fucose interaction increases Salmonella-induced intestinal inflammation and prolongs colonization [PDF]
, 2019 Author summary The intestinal epithelium is a crucial biological interface, interacting with both commensal and pathogenic microorganisms. It’s lined with heavily glycosylated proteins and glycolipids which can act as both attachment sites and energy ...

Electron Transport Chain Is Biochemically Linked to Pilus Assembly Required for Polymicrobial Interactions and Biofilm Formation in the Gram-Positive Actinobacterium Actinomyces oris. [PDF]
, 2017 The Gram-positive actinobacteria Actinomyces spp. are key colonizers in the development of oral biofilms due to the inherent ability of Actinomyces to adhere to receptor polysaccharides on the surface of oral streptococci and host cells.

The Multifunctional Protein YdiV Represses P Fimbria-Mediated Adherence in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2013 YdiV, a degenerate EAL domain protein, represses motility by interacting with FlhD to abolish FlhDC interaction with DNA. Here, we demonstrate that deletion of ydiV dysregulates coordinate control of motility and adherence by increasing adherence of Escherichia coli CFT073 to a bladder epithelial cell line by specifically increasing production of P ...

Active sites of salivary proline-rich protein for binding to Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1997 Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae specifically bind salivary acidic proline-rich protein 1 (PRP1) through protein-protein interactions. The binding domains of fimbrillin (a subunit of fimbriae) for PRP1 were analyzed previously (A. Amano, A. Sharma, J.-Y. Lee, H. T. Sojar, P. A. Raj, and R. J. Genco, Infect. Immun. 64:1631-1637, 1996).

Long Polar Fimbriae of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 Bind to Extracellular Matrix Proteins [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2011 ABSTRACT Adherence to intestinal cells is a key process in infection caused by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). Several adhesion factors that mediate the binding of EHEC to intestinal cells have been described, but the receptors involved in their recognition are not fully characterized ...
