Involvement of Type IV Pili in Pathogenicity of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria
Genes, 2011 Type IV pili (T4P) are hair-like appendages found on the surface of a wide range of bacteria belonging to the β-, γ-, and δ-Proteobacteria, Cyanobacteria and Firmicutes. They constitute an efficient device for a particular type of bacterial surface motility, named twitching, and are involved in several other bacterial activities and functions ...

Structure of Clostridium perfringens Type IV Pili [PDF]
, 2021 Type IV pili (T4P) are thin, hair-like bacterial appendages composed of protein subunits polymerized into a helical fiber. T4P perform diverse functions such as host cell adhesion, biofilm formation, natural competence, and twitching motility.

To Move or Not to Move: When and How Bacteria Suppress Flagellar Motility
Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.Motility cessation in bacteria is a key regulatory strategy that provides multiple survival advantages including enhanced community cooperation, niche adaptation and evasion of host immune responses. This process is controlled by associated mechanisms such as post‐translational modifications and second messenger signalling that stabilise non‐motile ...

Interaction with type IV pili induces structural changes in the bacterial outer membrane secretin PilQ [PDF]
, 2005 Type IV pili are cell surface organelles found on many Gram-negative bacteria. They mediate a variety of functions, including adhesion, twitching motility, and competence for DNA uptake.

Understanding Exosomes in Hair Regeneration
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Background Alopecia is a prevalent condition correlated with significant psychosocial challenges, while contemporary treatments exhibit variable efficacy, require extended use, and may cause adverse effects. This review aimed to comprehensively assess exosome‐mediated interventions as a novel cell‐free regenerative approach for hair ...

Deep Mutational Scanning for the Study and Engineering of Protein Assemblies
Chemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.This review explores how deep mutational scanning (DMS) can be used to improve understanding and accelerate engineering of protein assemblies, from natural fibers to engineered nanocages. We discuss various types of protein assemblies and their characterization, provide an introduction to the DMS technique, and then highlight examples in which DMS has ...

Retraction of DNA-bound type IV competence pili initiates DNA uptake during natural transformation in Vibrio cholerae [PDF]
, 2018 Natural transformation is a broadly conserved mechanism of horizontal gene transfer in bacterial species that can shape evolution and foster the spread of antibiotic resistance determinants, promote antigenic variation, and lead to the acquisition of ...
