Mannose-resistant (MRHA). Pap pili expression is tightly regulated in response to several environmental and nutritional factors, also controlled by a methylation-dependent phase variation mechanims. The pap operon is a useful example of pilus assembly since it contains many conserved features:. PapD, a conserved chaperone molecule with an Ig-like domain, is necessary to transport several pilus subunits from the cytoplasmic membrane to the outer membrane. PapD-subunit complexes are targeted to the PapC outer membrane usher, which forms a pore through which the the pili are translocated across the OM. The major subunit is PapA, which is assembled into a 6.8-nm thick helical rod that is anchored in the OM by PapH. At the distal end of the pilus rod is a 2-nm linear tip fibrillum composed of a PapE, which is adapted to the PapA rod by PapK. PapG is joined to the PapE tip fibrillum by the adapter protein PapF. ... |

| Type 1 fimbriae |

Mannose-sensitive (MSHA) fimbriae, the ability to hemagglutinate erythrocytes was blocked by the presence of mannose. The genes responsible for type I fimbriae are found in almost all subgroups of E.coli, not just in UPEC strains, but the fimbriae function as a virulence factor in the pathogenesis of E.coli UTI. Expression of type I fimbriae undergoes phase variation controlled at the transcriptional level by invertible element. The σ70 promoter for FimA is located within this 314bp invertible DNA element flanked on both ends by inverted DNA repeats of 9bp in length. Leucine-responsive protein (LRP), integration host factor (IHF), and the histone-like protein (H-NS) affect the switching of the invertible element by binding to DNA sequences around and within the invertible element region, thus assisting or blocking the switching actions of the FimB and FimE recombinases. ... |
