Regulated pole-to-pole oscillations of a bacterial gliding motility protein.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 4 Nov 2005

Mignot Tâm, Merlie John P, Zusman David R

Abstract excerpt

Little is known about directed motility of bacteria that move by type IV pilus-mediated (twitching) motility. Here, we found that during periodic cell reversals of Myxoccocus xanthus, type IV pili were disassembled at one pole and reassembled at the other pole. Accompanying these reversals, FrzS, a protein required for directed motility, moved in an oscillatory pattern between the cell poles. The frequency of the...
