PilJ localizes to cell poles and is required for type IV pilus extension in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Current microbiology - 1 Nov 2007

DeLange Paul A, Collins Tracy L, Pierce George E, Robinson Jayne B

Abstract excerpt

Twitching motility allows Pseudomonas aeruginosa to respond to stimuli by extending and retracting its type IV pili (TFP). PilJ is a protein necessary for this surface-associated twitching motility and bears high sequence identity with Escherichia coli methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCP). Here, we report that whereas wild-type P. aeruginosa PAO1 cells have extended pili at a single pole, pilJ mutant cells...
