MrpB Functions as the Terminator for Assembly of Proteus mirabilis Mannose-Resistant Proteus -Like Fimbriae

Year: 1998

Type: article

Abstract: Insertional mutagenesis studies of mrpB, a putative pilin-encoding open reading frame of the mrp gene cluster, which encodes mannose-resistant Proteus-like (MR/P) fimbriae of Proteus mirabilis, indicate that MrpB functions as the terminator for fimbrial assembly.
