Protein Domain : IPR016147

Type:  Domain Name:  Pili assembly chaperone, N-terminal
Description:  Most Gram-negative bacteria possess a supramolecular structure - the pili - on their surface, which mediates attachment to specific receptors. Many interactive subunits are required to assemble pili, but their assembly only takes place after translocation across the cytoplasmic membrane. Periplasmic chaperones assist pili assembly by binding to the subunits, thereby preventing premature aggregation [, ]. Pili chaperones are structurally, and possibly evolutionarily, related to the immunoglobulin superfamily [, ]: they contain two globular domains, with a topology identical to an immunoglobulin fold [].This entry represents the N-terminal domain. Short Name:  Pili_assmbl_chaperone_N
