Identification of Mfa5-2 as a structural component of Mfa1 fimbriae in Porphyromonas gingivalis
Mfa5-2 is expressed as a high-molecular-weight component and integrated into the Mfa1 fimbriae in P. gingivalis EM3 and 1439. These findings revealed previously unknown structural diversity of Mfa1 fimbriae.
