The toxin-co-regulated pilus of Vibrio cholerae O1: a model for type 4 pilus biogenesis?

J R Iredell et al. Trends Microbiol. 1994 Jun.

Abstract

The toxin-co-regulated pilus (TCP), an important colonization factor of Vibrio cholerae, is similar to the type 4 pilus produced by a variety of pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. The putative translocation and assembly machinery of TCP has broad similarities with known pilin and nonpilin export mechanisms.
