A lytic transglycosylase homologue, PleA, is required for the assembly of pili and the flagellum at the Caulobacter crescentus cell pole.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jul 2003

Viollier Patrick H, Shapiro Lucy

Abstract excerpt

Two distinct protein complexes, the flagellum and the pilus biogenesis machinery, are asymmetrically assembled at one pole of the Caulobacter predivisional cell. Cell division yields dissimilar daughter cells: a stalked cell and a swarmer cell that assembles several pili at the flagellated cell pole. Strains bearing mutations in the pleA gene are pililess and non-flagellated. The PleA protein contains a region...
