Motility and adhesion through type IV pili in Gram-positive bacteria.

Biochemical Society transactions - 15 Dec 2016

Piepenbrink Kurt H, Sundberg Eric J

Abstract excerpt

Type IV pili are hair-like bacterial surface appendages that play a role in diverse processes such as cellular adhesion, colonization, twitching motility, biofilm formation, and horizontal gene transfer. These extracellular fibers are composed exclusively or primarily of many copies of one or more pilin proteins, tightly packed in a helix so that the highly hydrophobic amino-terminus of the pilin is buried in the...
