Supramolecular Organization of the Repetitive Backbone Unit of the Streptococcus pneumoniae Pilus
Streptococcus pneumoniae, like many other Gram-positive bacteria, assembles long filamentous pili on their surface through which they adhere to host cells. Pneumococcal pili are formed by a backbone, consisting of the repetition of the major component RrgB, and two accessory proteins (RrgA and RrgC)...
