PapD-like chaperones and pilus biogenesis.
The assembly of adhesive pili from individual subunits by periplasmic PapD-like chaperones in Gram-negative bacteria offers insight into the complex process of organelle biogenesis. PapD-like chaperones bind, stabilize, and cap interactive surfaces of subunits until they are assembled into the pilus. Subunits lack the seventh *gb-strand necessary to complete their immunoglobulin-like folds; the...
متن کاملFimC is a periplasmic PapD-like chaperone that directs assembly of type 1 pili in bacteria.
Biogenesis of the type 1 pilus fiber in Escherichia coli requires the product of the fimC locus. We have demonstrated that FimC is a member of the periplasmic chaperone family. The deduced primary sequence of FimC shows a high degree of homology to PapD and fits well with the derived consensus sequence for periplasmic chaperones, predicting that it has an immunoglobulin-like topology. The chape...
متن کاملSuppression of type 1 pilus assembly in uropathogenic Escherichia coli by chemical inhibition of subunit polymerization
OBJECTIVES To identify and to characterize small-molecule inhibitors that target the subunit polymerization of the type 1 pilus assembly in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). METHODS Using an SDS-PAGE-based assay, in silico pre-filtered small-molecule compounds were screened for specific inhibitory activity against the critical subunit polymerization step of the chaperone-usher pathway du...

بسیاری از پدیده ها در جهان ما اساساً غیرخطی هستند، و توسط معادلات غیرخطی بیان شده اند. از آنجا که ظهور کامپیوترهای رقمی با عملکرد بالا، حل مسایل خطی را آسان تر می کند. با این حال، به طور کلی به دست آوردن جوابهای دقیق از مسایل غیرخطی دشوار است. روش عددی، به طور کلی محاسبه پیچیده مسایل غیرخطی را اداره می کند. با این حال، دادن نقاط به یک منحنی و به دست آوردن منحنی کامل که اغلب پرهزینه و ...

KEYWORDS: antibiotics´bioorganic chemistry´chaperone proteins´peptidomimetics The heavy use of antibiotics during the second half of the last century has resulted in widespread bacterial resistance. Overcoming resistance requires the development of antibiotics aimed at new targets in microorganisms. Preferably, such targets should be highly conserved in bacteria and required for pathogenesis, b...
