PilB localization correlates with the direction of twitching motility in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 May 2015

Abstract excerpt

Twitching motility depends on the adhesion of type IV pili (T4P) to a substrate, with cell movement driven by extension and retraction of the pili. The mechanism of twitching motility, and the events that lead to a reversal of direction, are best understood in rod-shaped bacteria such as Myxococcus xanthus. In M. xanthus, the direction of movement depends on the unipolar localization of the pilus extension and...
