The pancreatic zymogen granule membrane protein, GP2, binds Escherichia colitype 1 Fimbriae [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Gastroenterology, 2009
GP2 is the major membrane protein present in the pancreatic zymogen granule, and is cleaved and released into the pancreatic duct along with exocrine secretions. The function of GP2 is unknown. GP2's amino acid sequence is most similar to that of uromodulin, which is secreted by the kidney.

The Multifunctional Protein YdiV Represses P Fimbria-Mediated Adherence in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Variation in the structural subunit and basal protein antigens of Bacteroides nodosus fimbriae

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1986
The fimbriae of Bacteroides nodosus play a major role in protective immunity against ovine footrot and are an important determinant in the serological classification system that divides field isolates into at least eight serogroups and 16 serotypes.

Synthesis of a Putative Antigenic Heptapeptide from Escherichia Coli K88 ab Protein Fimbriae. [PDF]

open access: yesActa 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

The Effects of Escherichia coli S-Fimbriae and Outer Membrane Protein A on Rat Pial Arterioles [PDF]

open access: yesPediatric Research, 1996
Cerebral vascular injury is common in bacterial meningitis, but the role of microbial factors associated with this phenomenon is unclear. Escherichia coli S-fimbriae and outer membrane protein A (OmpA) have been shown to promote binding and invasion of E. coli to brain microvascular endothelial cells, respectively.

Role of SefA subunit protein of SEF14 fimbriae in the pathogenesis of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis [PDF]

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 1997
In this study, the role of the SefA subunit protein of SEF14 fimbriae in the pathogenesis of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis was investigated. This was accomplished by mutating the sefA gene in the chromosome of two strains of S. enterica serovar Enteritidis by allelic exchange with a copy that has been inactivated by interruption with a ...

Involvement of fimbriae in host-mycoparasite recognition [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Extracellular, non-flagellar appendages, termed fimbriae are widespread among fungi. Fungal fimbriae range in diameter from 6-10 nm and exhibit lengths of up to 30 ~m.

Recombinant Porphyromonas gingivalis FimA preproprotein expressed in Escherichia coli is lipidated and the mature or processed recombinant FimA protein forms a short filament in vitro. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The gram-negative anaerobic bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis is an etiologically important pathogen for chronic periodontal diseases in adults. Our previous study suggested that the major structural components of both Fim and Mfa fimbriae in this ...

Adhesion‐Enhanced Engineered Probiotic for Prolonged Intestinal Retention and Calprotectin‐Responsive IBD Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An intelligent engineered probiotic platform is developed for the precision management of inflammatory bowel disease. By integrating surface‐displayed adhesins with an inflammation‐responsive CAT‐SOD‐GPx tripartite fusion system and mucosal repair factors, this programmable system achieves prolonged intestinal retention and multi‐pronged therapy.
