mfa1

Gene
mfa1
Protein
Minor fimbrium subunit Mfa1
Organism
Porphyromonas gingivalis (strain ATCC 33277 / DSM 20709 / CIP 103683 / JCM 12257 / NCTC 11834 / 2561)
Length
563 amino acids
Function
Structural subunit of the minor fimbriae (PubMed:12593606, PubMed:19589838, PubMed:24118823). 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 (PubMed:11083792, PubMed:12593606, PubMed:15972485, PubMed:19589838, PubMed:23809984, PubMed:24118823, PubMed:26001707, PubMed:26437277). They play an important role in invasion of periodontal tissues and are recognized as major virulence factors. Mfa1 orthologs from different strains have highly divergent sequences, and this correlates with pathogenicity (Probable).
Similarity
Belongs to the bacteroidetes fimbrillin superfamily.

Protein
A1-specific pheromone

Function
Mating pheromone for A1 allele.

Gene
MFA1
Protein
Mating hormone A-factor 1
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Length
36 amino acids
Function
The active factor is excreted into the culture medium by haploid cells of the A mating type and acts on cells of the opposite mating type (type alpha). It mediates the conjugation process between the two types by inhibiting the initiation of DNA synthesis in type alpha cells and synchronizing them with type A.
