== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FIMG_ECOLI FIMG_ECOLI] Involved in regulation of length and mediation of adhesion of type 1 fimbriae (but not necessary for the production of fimbriae). Involved in the integration of FimH in the fimbriae.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The complex between the bacterial type 1 pilus subunit FimG and the peptide corresponding to the N-terminal extension (termed donor strand, Ds) of the partner subunit FimF (DsF) shows the strongest reported noncovalent molecular interaction, with a dissociation constant (KD ) of 1.5x10-20 m. However, the complex only exhibits a slow association rate of 330 m-1 s-1 that limits technical applications, such as its use in affinity purification. Herein, a structure-based approach was used to design pairs of FimGt (a FimG variant lacking its own N-terminal extension) and DsF variants with enhanced electrostatic surface complementarity. Association of the best mutant FimGt/DsF pairs was accelerated by more than two orders of magnitude, while the dissociation rates and 3D structures of the improved complexes remained essentially unperturbed. A KD value of 8.8x10-22 m was obtained for the best mutant complex, which is the lowest value reported to date for a protein/ligand complex.
