TO KNOW ABOUT IT!
Many bacteria have long chain fiber-protein complexes on their surfaces, which are called pili or fimbriae. These pili are composed of individual pilus monomers that link together end-to-end in the extracellular environment, self-assembling into long chain fibers with high physical strength.
For Fusobacterium nucleatum, its pili are referred to as FadA (Fusobacterium adhesin A). The monomers that make up these pili come in two forms: ①pre-FadA, which serves as an anchoring structure, attaching the entire pilus to the bacterial inner membrane. ②mFadA (mature FadA), which can link head-to-tail and self-assemble into a long filament.
