CsgI (YccT) Is a Novel Inhibitor of Curli Fimbriae Formation in <i>Escherichia coli</i> Preventing CsgA Polymerization and Curli Gene Expression
Curli fimbriae are amyloids—found in bacteria (<i>Escherichia coli</i>)—that are involved in solid-surface adhesion and bacterial aggregation during biofilm formation. The curli protein CsgA is coded by a <i>csgBAC</i> operon gene, and the transcription factor CsgD is essenti...
