fimB

Gene
fimB
Protein
Major fimbrium anchoring subunit FimB
Organism
Porphyromonas gingivalis
Length
305 amino acids
Function
Anchoring subunit of the major fimbriae. Regulates fimbrial length (PubMed:20530728). These filamentous pili are attached to the cell surface; they mediate biofilm formation, adhesion onto host cells and onto other bacteria that are part of the oral microbiome. Fimbriae of P.gingivalis are major virulence factors.
Similarity
Belongs to the bacteroidetes fimbrillin superfamily. FimB/Mfa2 family.
