The predicted amino acid sequences of the pilL and pilN genes, required for the thin pilus formation of IncI1 plasmids R64 and ColIb-P9, contain N-terminal lipoprotein signal peptide motifs. The pilL and pilN products were labeled with [(3)H]palmitic acid as 38- and 57-kDa proteins, respectively, indicating that they are lipoproteins. Both PilL and PilN were localized to the outer membrane.
IncI1质粒R64和ColIb - P9形成细菌毛所需的pilL和pilN基因的预测氨基酸序列含有N端脂蛋白信号肽基序。pilL和pilN产物分别被[³H]棕榈酸标记为38 kDa和57 kDa的蛋白质,表明它们是脂蛋白。PilL和PilN都定位于外膜。
