The Mechanism of Donor-Strand Exchange in Pilus Assembly Studied by Mass Spectrometry
Gram-negative bacteria assemble multi-subunit pili on their surfaces to aid in the establishment of infection. One such class of pili are assembled by the chaperone-usher pathway. In the periplasm, pilus subunits are bound to a chaperone protein, which donates a l3-strand to complete the subunit...
