The Minor Pilin Subunit Sgp2 Is Necessary for Assembly of the Pilus Encoded by the srtG Cluster of Streptococcus suis

Gram-positive pili are composed of covalently bound pilin subunits whose assembly is mediated via a pilus-specific sortase(s). Major subunits constitute the pilus backbone and are therefore essential for pilus formation. Minor subunits are also incorporated into the pilus, but they are considered to...
