Dual pili post-translational modifications synergize to mediate meningococcal adherence to platelet activating factor receptor on human airway cells.

Dual pili post-translational modifications synergize to mediate meningococcal adherence to platelet activating factor receptor on human airway cells.

Pili of pathogenic Neisseria are major virulence factors associated with adhesion, twitching motility, auto-aggregation, and DNA transformation. Pili of N. meningitidis are subject to several different post-translational modifications. Among these pilin modifications, the presence of phosphorylcholi...
