| Function | Major pilin subunit protein of the type IV pilus (Tfp) colonization factor. Type IV pili (Tfp) are proteinaceous polymeric filaments that serve critical roles in disease pathogenesis and prokaryotic cell biology in many Gram-negative species. These multifunctional virulence factors are involved in adhesion to host cell surfaces, modulation of target cell specificity, twitching motility, bacteriophage adsorption and pilus retraction.

| Protein Glycosylation- Implication | Recently, using primary, human, cervical epithelial (i.e. pex) cells, pilin glycan has been shown to mediate productive cervical infection. For the first time, direct role of the protein-associated bacterial glycan in pathogenesis has been demonstrated (Ref. no. 1). Pilin glycan helps gonococci in binding to the compliment receptor 3 (CR3) I-domain expressed by pex cells when it is in a closed, low-affinity conformation. This leads to the acive state of CR3. |
| Glycan Information |
| Glycan Annotation | Linkage: Bac/DATDH-Ser.
Disaccharide composed of a hexose residue linked to a proximal 2,4-diacetamido-2,4,6-trideoxyhexose sugar (HexDATDH). Various X-ray diffraction studies have identified α-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→3)-2,4-diacetamido-2,4-dideoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside (bacillosamine, Bac); Gal-DADDGlc; and GlcNAc-α1,3-Gal, as glycans. DADDGlc has a second acetamido group at C4 of the proximal glucose in place of the hydroxyl group. DADDGlc thus resembles DATDH. However, DATDH lacks the C |

| Characterized Accessory Gene(s) | PglA, PglB2, PglE. Galactosyltransferase PglA transfers the galactose to DATDH. PglE catalyzes the attachment of the terminal galactose to the glycan. PglBCD enzymes are essential for biosynthesis of DATDH from GlcNAc. PglB (B1) also catalyzes transfer of DATDH onto the lipid carrier. PglF is the flippase. PglB2 is a glyceramido transferase that synthesizes GATDH and transfers it onto the lipid carrier. PglE has a relaxed substrate specificity. In the majority of the gonococcal strains, PglE is switched off. |

| Additional Comments | Replacing the pglB1 allele with the pglB2 allele from the N. meningitidis 8013 strain results in the synthesis of glycan with GATDH (2-acetamido 4-glyceramido 2,4,6-trideoxyhexose).
Glycan formation is phase variable.
Sequon feature: S/T plus low complexity region, the glycan modiï¬cations are found on a flexible-loop region within the globular domain of the protein. |
