The usher N terminus is the initial targeting site for chaperone-subunit complexes and participates in subsequent pilus biogenesis events.
Pilus biogenesis on the surface of uropathogenic Escherichia coli requires the chaperone/usher pathway, a terminal branch of the general secretory pathway. In this pathway, periplasmic chaperone-subunit complexes target an outer membrane (OM) usher for subunit assembly into pili and secretion to the cell surface. The molecular mechanisms of protein secretion across the OM are not well understoo...
متن کاملStructural basis of chaperone self-capping in P pilus biogenesis.
PapD is an immunoglobulin-like chaperone that mediates the assembly of P pili in uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli. It binds and caps interactive surfaces on pilus subunits to prevent their premature associations in the periplasm. We elucidated the structural basis of a mechanism whereby PapD also interacts with itself, capping its own subunit binding surface. Crystal structures of dime...
متن کاملStar-forming Complexes in Galaxies
Star complexes are the largest globular regions of star formation in galaxies. If there is a spiral density wave, nuclear ring, tidal arm, or other welldefined stellar structure, then gravitational instabilities in the gaseous component produce giant cloud complexes with a spacing of about three times the width. These gas complexes form star complexes, giving the familiar beads on a string of s...
متن کاملPapD chaperone function in pilus biogenesis depends on oxidant and chaperone-like activities of DsbA.
Adhesive P pili of uropathogenic Escherichia coli were not assembled by a strain that lacks the periplasmic disulfide isomerase DsbA. This defect was mostly attributed to the immunoglobulin-like pilus chaperone PapD, which possesses an unusual intrasheet disulfide bond between the last two beta-strands of its CD4-like carboxyl-terminal domain. The DsbA-dependent formation of this disulfide bond...
متن کاملOuter-membrane PapC molecular usher discriminately recognizes periplasmic chaperone-pilus subunit complexes.
P pili are highly ordered composite structures consisting of thin fibrillar tips joined end-to-end to rigid helical rods. The production of these virulence-associated structures requires a periplasmic chaperone (PapD) and an outer membrane protein (PapC) that is the prototype member of a newly recognized class of proteins that we have named "molecular ushers." Two in vitro assays showed that th...
