pili, sex - CISMeF

Preferred Label : pili, sex;

MeSH definition : Filamentous or elongated proteinaceous structures which extend from the cell surface in gram-negative bacteria that contain certain types of conjugative plasmid. These pili are the organs associated with genetic transfer and have essential roles in conjugation. Normally, only one or a few pili occur on a given donor cell. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed, p675) This preferred use of pili refers to the sexual appendage, to be distinguished from bacterial fimbriae (FIMBRIAE, BACTERIAL), also known as common pili, which are usually concerned with adhesion.;

MeSH synonym : conjugative pilus; pili, conjugative; sex pili; conjugative pili; pilus, conjugative; sex pilus; pilus, sex;

Wikipedia automatic translation : Pilus;

MeSH annotation : note X refs: do not confuse with COMMON PILI see FIMBRIAE, BACTERIAL; coord IM with specific bacterium (IM); A 11 qualif except /cytol; /genet permitted; do not confuse with COMMON PILI see FIMBRIAE, BACTERIAL;
