Mutational Analysis of Plasmid R64 Thin Pilus Prepilin: the Entire Prepilin Sequence Is Required for Processing by Type IV Prepilin Peptidase

The thin pili of IncI1 plasmid R64, which is required for conjugation in liquid media, belong to the type IV pilus family. They consist of a major subunit, the pilS product, and a minor component, one of the seven pilV products. The pilS product is first synthesized as a 22-kDa prepilin, processed t...
