fimA | Fimbrilin; Structural subunit of the major fimbriae. These long, filamentous pili are attached to the cell surface; they mediate biofilm formation, adhesion onto host cells and onto other bacteria that are part of the oral microbiome. They play an important role in the invasion of periodontal tissues. Fimbriae and their constituents are major virulence factors. FimA proteins from different strains have highly divergent sequences, and this has been used for classification. The sequence-based classification correlates with pathogenicity; Belongs to the bacteroidetes fimbrillin superfamil [...] (388 aa) | ||||
fimB | Lipoprotein, putative; Anchoring subunit of the major fimbriae. Regulates fimbrial length. These filamentous pili are attached to the cell surface; they mediate biofilm formation, adhesion onto host cells and onto other bacteria that are part of the oral microbiome. Fimbriae of P.gingivalis are major virulence factors; Belongs to the bacteroidetes fimbrillin superfamily. FimB/Mfa2 family. (303 aa) | ||||
mfA4 | Immunoreactive 32 kDa antigen PG49; Tip subunit of the minor fimbriae. These filamentous pili are attached to the cell surface; they mediate biofilm formation, adhesion onto host cells and onto other bacteria that are part of the oral microbiome. They play an important role in invasion of periodontal tissues and are recognized as major virulence factors (Probable); Belongs to the bacteroidetes fimbrillin superfamily. FimA/Mfa1 family. (333 aa) |
