Function of pili in bacteriophage phi 6 penetration. 来自 Semantic Scholar 喜欢 0 阅读量: 32 作者:M Romantschuk,DH Bamford 摘要: The genome of bacteriophage phi 6, which has a lipid protein envelope, consists of three pieces of dsRNA. Virus infection is initiated by attachment to a phi 6...
Pili. Pili or fimbriae are protein structures that extend from the bacterial cell envelope for a distance up to 2 μm (Figure 3). Theyfunction to attach the cells to surfaces. How do bacteria move? Many bacteria move usinga structure called a flagellum. The flagellum is a long, corkscrew-...
Function of pili in bacterial colonization The role of pili in host cell adherence and tissue tropism has been well established from studies of Gram-negative bacteria, which contain distinct types of pili, namely type I pili, Pap pili, type IV pili and curli pili 16, 34, 35, 36. Gram-po...
called sortase,are crosslinked,ultimately resulting in polymers covalently attached to the cell wall.Pili mainly take part in bacterial adhesion to and invasion and colonization of host tissues and cells.This paper reviews the structure,molecular configuration,and function of pili in Gram-positive ...
Additional pilins may be added to the fiber and often function as host cell adhesins. Some pili are also involved in biofilm formation, phage transduction, DNA uptake and a special form of bacterial cell movement, known as 'twitching motility' In contrast, the more recently discovered pili in...

The donor function ofcolIbis known to be repressed a few generations after it is acquired by acol cell. While donor ability is manifest, a new type of pilus (the 'Ib pilus') is formed which is morphologically distinct from common pili and other sex pili such as that determined by the F...
Interestingly, in at least two of these species, S. agalactiae and S. pyogenes, pilus components seem to be promising candidates for vaccine develop- ment35,39. The scope of this Review is to summarize what is known about the structure, assembly and function of pili in Gram-positive ...
