[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PAPD_ECOLX PAPD_ECOLX]] Binds and caps interactive surfaces on pilus subunits to prevent them from participating in non-productive interactions. Facilitates the import of subunits into the periplasm. May facilitate subunit folding. Chaperone-subunit complexes are then targeted to the PapC outer membrane usher where the chaperone must uncap from the subunits. [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PAPK_ECOLX PAPK_ECOLX]] Adapter that links the pilus rod to the base of the tip fibrillum. Regulates the length of the tip fibrillum and joins it to the pilus rod. Pili are polar filaments radiating from the surface of the bacterium to a length of 0.5-1.5 micrometers and numbering 100-300 per cell, and enable bacteria to colonize the epithelium of specific host organs.
