FAEG FROM F4AC ETEC STRAIN 5_95, PRODUCED IN TOBACCO PLANT CHLOROPLAST
Overview
F4 fimbriae encoded by the fae operon are the major colonization factors, associated with porcine neonatal and postweaning diarrhoea caused by, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). Via the chaperone/usher pathway, the F4 fimbriae are assembled as long polymers of the major subunit FaeG, which also possesses the adhesive properties of the fimbriae., Intrinsically, the incomplete fold of fimbrial subunits renders them, unstable and susceptible to aggregation and/or proteolytic degradation in, the absence of a specific periplasmic chaperone. In order to test the, possibility of producing FaeG in plants, FaeG expression was studied in, transgenic tobacco plants. FaeG was directed to different subcellular, compartments by specific targeting signals. Targeting of FaeG to the, chloroplast ... [(full description)]
