Structure of CfaA Suggests a New Family of Chaperones Essential for Assembly of Class 5 Fimbriae

Adhesive pili on the surface of pathogenic bacteria comprise polymerized pilin subunits and are essential for initiation of infections. Pili assembled by the chaperone-usher pathway (CUP) require periplasmic chaperones that assist subunit folding, maintain their stability, and escort them to the sit...
