The Role of Minor Pilins in Assembly and Function of the Competence Pilus of Streptococcus pneumoniae
The remarkable genomic plasticity of Streptococcus pneumoniae largely depends on its ability to undergo natural genetic transformation. To take up extracellular DNA, S. pneumoniae assembles competence pili composed of the major pilin ComGC. In addition to ComGC, four minor pilins ComGD, E, F, and G...
