1.B.12.8.2
Fluffing protein (Flu) or antigen-43 (Ag-43; Ag43; also called YeeQ and YzzX). Processed proteolytically to the α- (soluble) and β- (membrane anchored) subunits; determines colony morphology and autoaggregation of E. coli K12 and many pathogenic strains (Henderson et al., 1997; Klemm et al. 2006).  May function in autotransporter processing.
