N-Terminal amino acid sequence of pilin isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

ABSTRACT

The amino-terminal amino acid sequence of the pili protein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa K pili is presented. The sequence is compared with those reported by others for pilin obtained from Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Moraxella nonlique-faciens. All three sequences are highly homologous, contain only two hydrophilic residues in the first 22 positions, and contain an unusual amino acid, N-monomethylphenylalanine, at the amino terminus.
