abstract = {Many Gram-negative bacteria use the chaperone-usher pathway
to express adhesive surface structures, such as fimbriae, in
order to mediate attachment to host cells. Periplasmic
chaperones are required to shuttle fimbrial subunits or
pilins through the periplasmic space in an
assembly-competent form. The chaperones cap the hydrophobic
surface of the pilins through a donor-strand complementation
mechanism. FaeE is the periplasmic chaperone required for
the assembly of the F4 fimbriae of enterotoxigenic
Escherichia coli. The FaeE crystal structure shows a dimer
formed by interaction between the pilin-binding interfaces
of the two monomers. Dimerization and tetramerization have
been observed previously in crystal structures of fimbrial
chaperones and have been suggested to serve as a
self-capping mechanism that protects the pilin-interactive
surfaces in solution in the absence of the pilins. However,
thermodynamic and biochemical data show that FaeE occurs as
a stable monomer in solution. Other lines of evidence
indicate that self-capping of the pilin-interactive
interfaces is not a mechanism that is conservedly applied by
all periplasmic chaperones, but is rather a case-specific
solution to cap aggregation-prone surfaces.},
