Clostridium perfringens Produces an Adhesive Pilus Required for the Pathogenesis of Necrotic Enteritis in Poultry

Journal of Bacteriology, 2021
In necrotic enteritis (NE), an intestinal disease of chickens, Clostridium perfringens cells adhere tightly to damaged intestinal tissue, but the factors involved are not known. We previously discovered a cluster of C.

The Vibrio cholerae Minor Pilin TcpB Initiates Assembly and Retraction of the Toxin-Coregulated Pilus. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2016
Type IV pilus (T4P) systems are complex molecular machines that polymerize major pilin proteins into thin filaments displayed on bacterial surfaces. Pilus functions require rapid extension and depolymerization of the pilus, powered by the assembly and ...

The minor pilin PilV provides a conserved adhesion site throughout the antigenically variable meningococcal type IV pilus

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Type IV pili (T4P) are among the most widespread adhesive factors in prokaryotes. In pathogenic Neisseria, the major pilin, which provides the structural framework for the filamentous T4P, undergoes antigenic variation allowing the bacteria ...

Motor-independent retraction of type IV pili is governed by an inherent property of the pilus filament

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Extracellular pilus filaments are critical for the virulence and persistence of many bacterial pathogens. A crucial property of these filaments is their ability to dynamically extend and retract from the bacterial surface.

Pilus of Streptococcus pneumoniae: structure, function and vaccine potential

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
The pilus is an extracellular structural part that can be detected in some Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) isolates (type I pili are found in approximately 30% of strains, while type II pili are found in approximately 20%). It is anchored to the

Structural and functional characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa CupB chaperones [PDF]

, 2010
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an important human pathogen, is estimated to be responsible for,10% of nosocomial infections worldwide. The pathogenesis of P. aeruginosa starts from its colonization in the damaged tissue or medical devices (e. g.

Unraveling the molecular basis of subunit specificity in P pilus assembly by mass spectrometry [PDF]

, 2008
P pili are multisubunit fibers essential for the attachment of uropathogenic Escherichia coli to the kidney. These fibers are formed by the noncovalent assembly of six different homologous subunit types in an array that is strictly defined in terms of ...

The plasmid R64 thin pilus identified as a type IV pilus [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1997
The entire nucleotide sequence of the pil region of the IncI1 plasmid R64 was determined. Analysis of the sequence indicated that 14 genes, designated pilI through pilV, are involved in the formation of the R64 thin pilus. Protein products of eight pil genes were identified by the maxicell procedure. The pilN product was shown to be a lipoprotein by an
