Structural and functional studies of Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbrial proteins
Porphyromonas gingivalis expresses two forms of fimbriae, FimA and Mfa1. Each fimbria consists of five proteins; FimA-E and Mfa1-5. While the assembly of the type-1 fimbriae from Escherichia coli is well studied; the chaperone-usher pathway, very little is known about the polymerization of P. gingiv...
