Dual Function of a Tip Fimbrillin of Actinomyces in Fimbrial Assembly and Receptor Binding

Interaction of Actinomyces oris with salivary proline-rich proteins (PRPs), which serve as fimbrial receptors, involves type 1 fimbriae. Encoded by the gene locus fimQ-fimP-srtC1, the type 1 fimbria is comprised of the fimbrial shaft FimP and the tip fimbrillin FimQ. Fimbrial polymerization requires...
