Type-1 fimbrial protein, A
FimA is a family of Gram-negative fimbrial component A proteins that form part of the pili. There are usually up to 1000 copies of this subunit in one pilus that form a helically wound rod onto which the tip fibrillum (FimF.FimG, FimH) is attached. Pilus subunits are translocated from the cytoplasm to the periplasm via the general secretory pathway SecYEG [1]. [1]. 22411982. Chaperone-usher pathways: diversity and pilus assembly mechanism.

fimbrial protein
fimbrial protein similar to Escherichia coli fimbrial adapter PapF, which is required for the correct presentation of the PapG adhesin at the distal end of the tip fibrillum
