A differential-display PCR procedure identified the capsular assembly genekpsDafterEscherichia colitype 1 fimbrial binding to mannose-coated Sepharose beads. Limiting-dilution reverse-transcribed PCRs confirmed down-regulation of thekpsDgene, and Northern blot andlacZfusion analyses showed down-regulation of thekpsFEDUCSregion 1 operon. KpsD protein levels fell, and an agglutination test showed less K capsular antigen on the surface following the bacterial ligand-receptor interaction. These data show that binding of type 1 fimbriae (pili) tod-mannose receptors triggers a cross talk that leads to down-regulation of the capsule assembly region 1 operon in uropathogenicE. coli.
