Pseudomonas aeruginosa minor pilins are incorporated into type IV pili.

FimU, PilV, PilW, PilX and PilE are processed by PilD and incorporated throughout the pilus; FimU and PilX promote assembly.

"incorporated throughout the growing pilus filament"

Identification of two genes with prepilin-like leader sequences involved in type 4 fimbrial biogenesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

fimU mutant lacks fimbriae and twitching; FimT overexpression complements.

"the fimU gene was required for fimbrial biogenesis and twitching motility"

Pseudomonas aeruginosa minor pilins prime type IVa pilus assembly and promote surface display of the PilY1 adhesin.

FimU is incorporated into pili independently of the other minor pilins, couples the priming complex to the major subunit, and has a GspH-like fold.

"FimU is incorporated independently of the others and is proposed to couple the putative minor pilin-PilY1 complex to the major subunit."
