Type IV pili: functions and biogenesis.

2014
AbstractPili (or fimbriae) are hair-like appendages that extend from the surface of many bacteria, and are polymers of primarily one protein generically named pilin. Out of the many types of pili that have been identified and classified according to their morphological and/or molecular characteristics, type IV pili (Tfp) are undoubtedly the most ...

A novel ColV plasmid encoding type IV pili

Microbiology, 2003
Many septicaemic Escherichia coli strains harbour ColV virulence plasmids. This paper describes pO78V, a conjugative ColV plasmid from an avian pathogenic E. coli strain that encodes type IV pili in addition to other virulence-related genes and tetracycline resistance. Plasmid location of type IV pili genes was demonstrated using Southern hybridization

How Bacteria Use Type IV Pili Machinery on Surfaces

Trends in Microbiology, 2015
The bacterial type IV pilus (T4P) is a versatile molecular machine with a broad range of functions. Recent advances revealed that the molecular components and the biophysical properties of the machine are well conserved among phylogenetically distant bacterial species.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Minor Pilins Are Incorporated into Type IV Pili

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2010
Type IV pili are long filamentous appendages required for both adhesion and a unique form of motility known as twitching. Twitching motility involves the extension and retraction of the pilus and requires a number of gene products, including five conserved pilin-like proteins of unknown function (FimU, PilV, PilW, PilX, and PilE in Pseudomonas ...

The Regulation and Dynamics of Type IV Pili

2021
Type IV pili (T4P) are hair-like adhesins involved in many processes, including surface attachment, twitching, DNA uptake, electron transfer, and pathogenesis. These flexible filaments are expressed in various pathogens, including the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
