X-ray Structure of the FimC-FimH Chaperone-Adhesin Complex from Uropathogenic Escherichia coli

TL;DR: The x-ray structure of the FimC-FimH chaperone-adhesin complex from uropathogenic Escherichia coli at 2.5 angstrom resolution reveals the basis for carbohydrate recognition and for pilus assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chaperone-assisted pilus assembly and bacterial attachment

TL;DR: Work has begun to reveal the structural basis both of chaperone function in the biogenesis of these pili and of bacterial attachment in the establishment of an infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

The affinity of the FimH fimbrial adhesin is receptor-driven and quasi-independent of Escherichia coli pathotypes.

TL;DR: It is found that FimH variants from uropathogenic, faecal and enterohaemorrhagic isolates express the same specificities and affinities for high‐mannose structures and implies that the carbohydrate expression profile of targeted host tissues and of natural inhibitors in urine, such as Tamm‐Horsfall protein, are stronger determinants of adhesion than FIMH variation.
