Minor pilins of the type IV pilus system participate in the negative regulation of swarming motility.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 2012

Kuchma S L, Griffin E F, O'Toole G A

Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibits distinct surface-associated behaviors, including biofilm formation, flagellum-mediated swarming motility, and type IV pilus-driven twitching. Here, we report a role for the minor pilins, PilW and PilX, components of the type IV pilus assembly machinery, in the repression of swarming motility. Mutating either the pilW or pilX gene alleviates the inhibition of swarming motility...
