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 ...

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.

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

Protein translation and cell death: the role of rare tRNAs in biofilm formation and in activating dormant phage killer genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 We discovered previously that the small Escherichia coli proteins Hha (hemolysin expression modulating protein) and the adjacent, poorly-characterized YbaJ are important for biofilm formation; however, their roles have been nebulous.

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

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]
, 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 ...

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