X-RAY STRUCTURE OF THE FIMC-FIMH CHAPERONE ADHESIN COMPLEX FROM UROPATHOGENIC E.COLI
Overview
Type 1 pili-adhesive fibers expressed in most members of the, Enterobacteriaceae family-mediate binding to mannose receptors on host, cells through the FimH adhesin. Pilus biogenesis proceeds by way of the, chaperone/usher pathway. The x-ray structure of the FimC-FimH, chaperone-adhesin complex from uropathogenic Escherichia coli at 2.5, angstrom resolution reveals the basis for carbohydrate recognition and for, pilus assembly. The carboxyl-terminal pilin domain of FimH has an, immunoglobulin-like fold, except that the seventh strand is missing, leaving part of the hydrophobic core exposed. A donor strand, complementation mechanism in which the chaperone donates a strand to, complete the pilin domain explains the basis for both chaperone function, and pilus biogenesis.
