    Pilus - Wikipedia

    • A pilus (Latin for 'hair'; pl.: pili) is a hair-like cell-surface appendage found on many bacteria and archaea. The terms pilus and fimbria (Latin for 'fringe'; plural: fimbriae) can be used interchangeably, although some researchers reserve the term pilus for the appendage required for bacterial conjugation. All conjugative pili are primarily composed of pilin – fibrous prot… See more

    Types by function

    A few names are given to different types of pili by their function. The classification does not always overlap with the structural or evolutionary-based types, as convergent evolution occurs.

    Types by assembling system or structure

    The Tra (transfer) family includes all known sex pili (as of 2010). They are related to the type IV secretion system (T4SS). They can be classified into the F-like type (after the F-pilus) and the P-like type. Like their secretion c… See more

    Pili and Fimbriae Types, Function and Differences

    Pili and fimbriae are proteinaceous, hair-like structures/appendages that extend from the cytoplasmic membrane of a variety of bacteria. Compared to flagella, they are both shorter and thinner in size. However, they are also different from …

    What is a gas pilus?
    Pili are long filamentous structures that project specific adhesive proteins out from the bacterial cell surface often to distances of 0.1 μm . The GAS pilus consists of a major backbone subunit (BS) and one or two ancillary proteins (AP1 and AP2) that are assembled in a sortase-dependent manner .

    What is a pili in bacteria?
    Pilin refers to a class of fibrous proteins that are found in pilus structures in bacteria. These structures can be used for the exchange of genetic material, or as a cell adhesion mechanism. Although not all bacteria have pili or fimbriae, bacterial pathogens often use their fimbriae to attach to host cells.
