Disease relevance of pilO

pilO, a gene required for glycosylation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1244 pilin [1].

High impact information on pilO

A role for pilO in the glycosylation of pilin in P. aeruginosa is evident as the cloned pilAO operon produced glycosylated strain 1244 pilin in eight heterologous P. aeruginosa strains [2].
A 2200 base mRNA strand, which contained both the pilO and pilA transcripts, was produced from this region, while a 650 base transcript containing only pilA was present in a 100-fold excess over the longer transcript [1].
