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 repr...
