Type IV pilus biogenesis, twitching motility, and DNA uptake in Thermus thermophilus: discrete roles of antagonistic ATPases PilF, PilT1, and PilT2.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Jan 2014

Abstract excerpt

Natural transformation has a large impact on lateral gene flow and has contributed significantly to the ecological diversification and adaptation of bacterial species. Thermus thermophilus HB27 has emerged as the leading model organism for studies of DNA transporters in thermophilic bacteria. Recently, we identified a zinc-binding polymerization nucleoside triphosphatase (NTPase), PilF, which is essential for the...
