This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: blanks_pili.cmap, pili (fimbriae) structure and composition, The pilus has a shaft composed of a protein called pilin. At the end of the shaft is the adhesive tip structure having a shape corresponding to that of specific glycoprotein or glycolipid receptors on a host cell. types Type IV pili not only allow for attachment but also enable a twitching motility. They are located at the poles of bacilli and allow for a gliding motility along a solid surface such as a host cell., The pilus has a shaft composed of a protein called pilin. At the end of the shaft is the adhesive tip structure having a shape corresponding to that of specific glycoprotein or glycolipid receptors on a host cell. types, Type IV pili not only allow for attachment but also enable a twitching motility. They are located at the poles of bacilli and allow for a gliding motility along a solid surface such as a host cell. function, pili (fimbriae) structure and composition The pilus has a shaft composed of a protein called pilin. At the end of the shaft is the adhesive tip structure having a shape corresponding to that of specific glycoprotein or glycolipid receptors on a host cell., other benefits The same bacterium may switch the adhesive tips of the pili in order to adhere to different types of cells and evade immune defenses., The pilus has a shaft composed of a protein called pilin. At the end of the shaft is the adhesive tip structure having a shape corresponding to that of specific glycoprotein or glycolipid receptors on a host cell. types, function, function Enables conjugation, the transfer of DNA from a donor or male bacterium with a sex pilus to a recipient or female bacterium to enable genetic recombination.
