Pseudomonas aeruginosauses long, thin fibres called type IV pili (T4P) for adherence to surfaces, biofilm formation, and twitching motility. A conserved subcomplex of PilMNOP is required for extension and retraction of T4P. To better understand its function, we attempted to co-crystallize the ...
Type IV pili and twitching motility. Twitching motility is a flagella-independent form of bacterial translocation over moist surfaces. It occurs by the extension, tethering, and then retractio... JS Mattick - 《Annual Review of Microbiology》 被引量: 1886发表: 2002年 Pilus retraction powers bact...
The mean force at which the bond between type IV pili from adjacent cells ruptures. Swarming A coordinated motility mechanism on semisolid surfaces driven by flagella.

Twitching motility is a mode of flagella-independent surface translocation exhibited by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other bacteria on solid media. All speci... Bradley,E David - 《Canadian Journal of Microbiology》 被引量: 566发表: 1980年 A function of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO polar pili: twitchin...
Twitching motility is a form of bacterial translocation over firm surfaces that requires retractile type IV pili. Microscopic colonies of Ralstonia solanacearum strains AW1, K60 and GMI1000 growing on the surface of a rich medium solidified with 1.6% agar appeared to exhibit twitching motility, becau...
Acinetobacter baumannii strain M2 produces type IV pili which play a role in natural transformation and twitching motility but not surface-associated motility... M Christian,Harding,N Erin,... - 《Mbio》 被引量: 122发表: 2013年 Adherence and motility characteristics of clinical Acinetobacter baumann...
Bacterial type IV pili perform important functions in such disparate biological processes as surface adhesion, cell–cell interactions, autoaggregation, conjugation, and twitching motility. Unlike bacteria, archaea use a type IV pilus related structure to drive swimming motility. While this unique flagellu...
AmrZ positively regulates type IV pilin expression and twitching motility, but negatively regulates flagellum biosynthesis and self-expression. Clearly, AmrZ functions as both a transcriptional activator and a repressor of multiple virulence factors of P. aeruginosa [33]. AlgW is a positive regulator...
Type IV pili are responsible for a diverse range of functions, including twitching motility and cell adhesion. Assembly of the pilus fiber is driven by a cytoplasmic ATPase: it interacts with an inner membrane complex of biogenesis proteins which, in turn, bind to nascent pilin subunits and ...
