Efficacy of FimA antibody and clindamycin in silkworm larvae stimulated with Porphyromonas gulae
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2021 Objective: Porphyromonas gulae, a major periodontal pathogen in animals, possesses fimbriae that have been classified into three genotypes (A, B, C) based on the diversity of fimA genes encoding fimbrillin protein (FimA). P.

Synthesis of a Proposed Antigenic Hexapeptide from Escherichia Coli K88 Protein Fimbriae. [PDF]
Acta Chemica Scandinavica, 1986 The hexapeptide Boc-Asp-Asp-Tyr-Arg-Gln-Lys-OMe is assembled by stepwise synthesis in solution with an overall yield of 44%. N alpha-boc-amino acids, protected with benzyl or benzyloxycarbonyl groups in the side-chains, are coupled as active estes of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole in mixtures of dichloromethane and N,N-dimethylformamide.

Specific interactions betweenPorphyromonas gingivalisfimbriae and human extracellular matrix proteins [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1999 The interactions of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins (laminin, elastin, fibronectin, type I collagen, thrombospondin and vitronectin) with the fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis were analyzed based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy using a biomolecular interaction analyzing system (BIAcore). The BIAcore profiles demonstrated that

Structural and functional studies of Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbrial proteins
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2017 Porphyromonas gingivalis expresses two forms of fimbriae, FimA and Mfa1. Each fimbria consists of five proteins; FimA-E and Mfa1-5. While the assembly of the type-1 fimbriae from Escherichia coli is well studied; the chaperone-usher pathway, very little ...

Spikes and fimbriae: alpha-helical proteins form surface projections on microorganisms. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1981 Two basic alpha-helical plans appear to characterize portions of the proteins projecting from the surface of many microorganisms. Structure A is related to that of the antibody-binding protein A of Staphylococcus aureus, in which a single polypeptide chain doubles back to form an Anti-parallel domain; the other, structure M, is related to the M ...

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

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

Lrp acts as both a positive and negative regulator for type 1 fimbriae production in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Leucine-responsive regulatory protein (Lrp) is known to be an indirect activator of type 1 fimbriae synthesis in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium via direct regulation of FimZ, a direct positive regulator for type 1 fimbriae production.
