ComP is a type IV minor pilin -site on the minor type IV pilin, C one of three minor (low abundance) pilins in pathogenic Proteobacteria Neisseria species (with PilV and PilX). These modulate Tfp-mediated properties without affecting Tfp biogenesis. ComP plays a prominent role in competence at the level of DNA uptake. Comp is exposed on the surface of Neisseria filaments, and it is this that recognises homotypic DNA through genus-specific DNA uptake sequence (DUS) motifs [1].
