| Type: | Family | Name: | Minor type IV pilin, PilX-like |
| Description: | PilX is a protein from Neissaria meningitidis which is crucial for the formation of bacterial aggregates and adhesion to human cells []. The structure of PilX is similar to all pilins as it has the common alpha/beta roll fold. PilX subunits have surface-exposed motifs which are thought to stabilise bacterial aggregates against pilus retraction. It also illustrates how a minor pilus component can modulate the virulence properties of pili which have a simple composition and structure []. | Short Name: | Pilin_PilX-like |
