Insertional mutagenesis studies of mrpB, a putative pilin-encoding open reading frame of the mrp gene cluster, which encodes mannose-resistant Proteus-like (MR/P) fimbriae of Proteus mirabilis, indicate that MrpB functions as the terminator for fimbrial assembly.
mrpB是mrp基因簇中一个假定的菌毛蛋白编码开放阅读框,该基因簇编码奇异变形杆菌的甘露糖抗性变形杆菌样(MR/P)菌毛。对mrpB的插入诱变研究表明,MrpB作为菌毛组装的终止子发挥作用。
