Synthesis of a Proposed Antigenic Hexapeptide from Escherichia Coli K88 Protein Fimbriae. [PDF]
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.

Efficacy of FimA antibody and clindamycin in silkworm larvae stimulated with Porphyromonas gulae
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.

Regulation of poly-GlcNAc expression and fimbriation in uropathogenic "E. coli" [PDF]
The transition of planktonic to sessile lifestyles in bacteria rests upon a tightly controlled program that gets triggered by the environmental composition and whose implementation requires multiple feedback controls. Uropathogenic E.

Application of MLST and Pilus gene sequence comparisons to investigate the population structures of Actinomyces naeslundii and Actinomyces oris [PDF]
Actinomyces naeslundii and Actinomyces oris are members of the oral biofilm. Their identification using 16S rRNA sequencing is problematic and better achieved by comparison of metG partial sequences. A.

Specific interactions betweenPorphyromonas gingivalisfimbriae and human extracellular matrix proteins [PDF]
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

Spikes and fimbriae: alpha-helical proteins form surface projections on microorganisms. [PDF]
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]
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
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.
