Function

Involved in pilus assembly, twitching motility and adhesion to host cells. Primes type IV pili (T4P) assembly and is required for inclusion of minor pilins PilV, PilW and PilX to the surface pili. Stabilizes assembled pilus fibers likely by antagonizing retraction mediated by PilT.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Fimbrium; Membrane; Cytoplasm, cytosol

Product Specifications

Protein Biology

Function

Involved in pilus assembly, twitching motility and adhesion to host cells. Primes type IV pili (T4P) assembly and is required for inclusion of minor pilins PilV, PilW and PilX to the surface pili (By similarity). Stabilizes assembled pilus fibers likely by antagonizing retraction mediated by PilT. Calcium-binding and calcium release by PilY1 seem to be essential for twitching motility and for regulation of pilus retraction dynamics of PilT. Adhesin for human tissue specifically recognizing a host receptor localized or enriched on basolateral epithelial cell surfaces. Binds host integrins in an calcium-dependent manner in vitro and this interaction may be employed by the bacterium to mediate host epithelial cell binding in vivo

Subcellular Location

Fimbrium; Membrane; Cytoplasm, cytosol

Subunit

Interacts (via C-terminal 532-1163) with host integrins alpha-V/beta-3 (ITGAV/ITGB3) and alpha-V/beta-5 (ITGAV/ITGB5)

Gene: pilY1  |  Organism: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (strain PAK)  |  Synonyms: Pilus-associated adhesin PilY
