Function

[FAEG3_ECOLX] K88 major fimbrial subunit. Fimbriae (also called pili), are polar filaments radiating from the surface of the bacterium to a length of 0.5-1.5 micrometers and numbering 100-300 per cell. They enable bacteria to colonize the epithelium of specific host organs.

About this Structure

3gea is a 2 chain structure with sequence from "bacillus_coli"_migula_1895 "bacillus coli" migula 1895. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
