Fragmentation of Escherichia coli type 1 fimbriae exposes cryptic D-mannose-binding sites.

Cells of the gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli are able to attach to various host cells by means of a mannose-specific adhesin associated with type 1 fimbriae. Here we show that fragmentation of type 1 fimbriae by freezing and thawing results in increased mannose-binding activity as demonstra...
