Disease relevance of pilY1

Fimbrial biogenesis genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: pilW and pilX increase the similarity of type 4 fimbriae to the GSP protein-secretion systems and pilY1 encodes a gonococcal PilC homologue [1].

High impact information on pilY1

Transposon insertions that increase lipC promoter activity have been obtained that inactivate two pilus biogenesis genes, pilX and pilY1 [2].
