Pseudomonas aeruginosa Type IV pilus expression in Neisseria gonorrhoeae: effects of pilin subunit composition on function and organelle dynamics.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 2007

Abstract excerpt

Type IV pili (TFP) play central roles in the expression of many phenotypes including motility, multicellular behavior, sensitivity to bacteriophages, natural genetic transformation, and adherence. In Neisseria gonorrhoeae, these properties require ancillary proteins that act in conjunction with TFP expression and influence organelle dynamics. Here, the intrinsic contributions of the pilin protein itself to TFP...
