Descriptions

The Escherichia coli fimbrial adhesive protein, FimH, mediates shear-dependent binding to mannosylated surfaces via force-enhanced allosteric catch bonds. The anchoring (pilin) domain (155-279) of FimH interacts with the mannose-binding (lectin) domain, causing a twist in the b sandwich fold of the mannose-binding domain. This loosens the mannose-binding pocket on the opposite end of the lectin domain, resulting in an inactive low-affinity state of the adhesin.
