The toxin-co-regulated pilus (TCP), an important colonization factor of Vibrio cholerae, is similar to the type 4 pilus produced by a variety of pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. The putative translocation and assembly machinery of TCP has broad similarities with known pilin and nonpilin export mechanisms.
毒素协同调节菌毛(TCP)是霍乱弧菌的一种重要定植因子,与多种致病性革兰氏阴性菌产生的4型菌毛相似。TCP推测的转运和组装机制与已知的菌毛蛋白和非菌毛蛋白输出机制有广泛的相似性。
