Abstract:

Pili are hair-like structures protruding from the cell envelope of bacterial cells. Here, we describe the conditional and differential display of PilA-type pili, and PilE and PilF proteins, encoded from pilin gene cluster 1 at the surface of a hospital-acquired Enterococcus faecium bloodstream isolate (E1165) and a community-derived stool isolate (E1039), at two different temperatures. Both strains have virtually identical pilA gene clusters, as determined by sequencing. Western blotting and transmission immunoelectron microscopy revealed that PilA and PilF assembled into high-molecular-mass p

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Escherichia coli K-12 possesses at least 16 chromosomal genes related to genes involved in the formation of type IV pili in other gram-negative bacteria. However, E. coli K-12 does not produce type IV pili when grown under standard laboratory conditions. The results of reverse transcription-PCR, operon fusion analysis, and immunoblotting demonstrated that several of the putativeE. coli piliation genes are expressed at very low levels.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Pseudomonas stutzeri lives in terrestrial and aquatic habitats and is capable of natural genetic transformation. After transposon mutagenesis, transformation-deficient mutants were isolated from a P. stutzeri JM300 strain. In one of them a gene which coded for a protein with 75% amino acid sequence identity to PilC of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an accessory protein for type IV pilus biogenesis, was inactivated. The presence of type IV pili was demonstrated by susceptibility to the type IV pilus-dependent phage PO4, by occurrence of twitching motility, and by electron microscopy. The pilC

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The virulence of the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa involves the coordinate expression of many virulence factors, including type IV pili, which are required for colonization of host tissues and for twitching motility. Type IV pilus function is controlled in part by the Chp chemosensory system, which includes a histidine kinase, ChpA, and two CheY-like response regulators, PilG and PilH. How the Chp components interface with the type IV pilus motor proteins PilB, PilT, and PilU is unknown. We present genetic evidence confirming the role of ChpA, PilG, and PilB in the reg

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The human pathogen Eikenella corrodens synthesizes type IV pili and exhibits a phase variation involving the irreversible transition from piliated to nonpiliated variants. On solid medium, piliated variants form small (S-phase), corroding colonies whereas nonpiliated variants form large (L-phase), noncorroding colonies. We are studying the molecular basis of this phase variation in the clinical isolate E. corrodens VA1. A genomic fragment encoding the major type IV pilin was cloned from the S-phase variant of strain VA1. Sequence analysis of the fragment revealed four tandemly arrange

Abstract:

Myxococcus xanthus possesses a social gliding motility that requires type IV pili (TFP). According to the current model, M. xanthus pili attach to an external substrate and retract, pulling the cell body forward along their long axis. By analogy with the situation in other bacteria employing TFP-dependent motility, M. xanthus pili have been assumed to be composed of pilin (PilA) subunits, but this has not previously been confirmed. The first 28 amino acids of the M. xanthus PilA protein share extensive homology with the N-terminal oligomerization domain of pilins in other bacterial species. To

ABSTRACT Unlike other type 4 pili, the neisserial pili consist of at least two distinct proteins, the highly variable major subunit PilE forming the pilus fiber and the tip-associated adhesin PilC.

The binding of PilC protein efficiently prevented the attachment of piliated Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis to these cell types.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT An isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG)-inducible promoter was constructed in Myxococcus xanthus. The single-copy pilA gene encodes pilin, the monomer unit of M. xanthus type IV pili. To vary the level of pilA expression, we cloned its promoter in front of the lac operator, and a plasmid containing the construct was inserted into the chromosome of a ΔpilA strain. Induction of pilin expression increased smoothly as the dose of IPTG added to the culture was increased. IPTG-induced pilin rescued S motility of the ΔpilA strain to wild-type levels. The rate of S-motile swarming was f

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Haemophilus influenzae is considered a nonmotile organism that expresses neither flagella nor type IV pili, although H. influenzae strain Rd possesses a cryptic pilus locus. We demonstrate here that the homologous gene cluster pilABCD in an otitis media isolate of nontypeable H. influenzae strain 86-028NP encodes a surface appendage that is highly similar, structurally and functionally, to the well-characterized subgroup of bacterial pili known as type IV pili. This gene cluster includes a gene (pilA) that likely encodes the major subunit of the heretofore uncharacterized H. influenza

Abstract:

The pili of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are composed of 15-kDa pilin monomers that are synthesized in the cytoplasm and assembled in the membrane. Processing occurs between the synthesis and assembly steps. The propilin is cleaved by a unique leader peptidase encoded by pilD, which is adjacent to the pilin structural gene pilA. This generates an N-terminal phenylalanine that is subsequently methylated by an as yet uncharacterized transmethylase. The pili of P. aeruginosa belong to the type IV class of pilins, which share a highly conserved N-terminal region 35 amino acids in length, containing a sh

Les pili de type IV (PT4) sont des filaments micrométriques qui exercent de multiples fonctions à la surface de nombreux procaryotes. Chez Neisseria meningitidis, les PT4 sont des homopolymères de la piline majeure PilE. Leur implication dans l'agrégation interbactérienne et l'adhésion aux cellules humaines les rend centraux dans la virulence du méningocoque. Cependant, les mécanismes permettant aux PT4 d'exercer ces diverses fonctions restent trop élusifs.

Binding of K88ab pili by brush border membrane and mucus from pig small intestine was characterized by inhibition assay and Western blot.

The results from Western blot assays with periodate oxidized and carbamylated brush border membrane and inhibition assay with brush border membrane glycopeptide suggest that amino groups (rather than carbohydrate) present on t
