Saf pilin N-terminal extension : ウィキペディア英語版 | Saf pilin N-terminal extension
In molecular biology, the protein domain, Saf pilin N-terminal extension refers to a domain only found in bacteria, more specifically, in gram-negative bacteria. Pili need to be formed by bacteria, as they are a method of adhering to the host organism which helps them infect the host cell. In other words, they are the bacteria's virulence factor. This particular protein domain helps the pili to form, via a complex mechanism named the chaperone/usher pathway. This protein domain is highly important for such bacteria, as without pili formation, they could not infect the host. ==Function== This protein domain, has an important function in forming pili. These are virulence factors crucial for cell adhesion to the host and biofilm formation which successful infection.
