Fresh extension of <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> competence type IV pili predisposes them for motor-independent retraction

2021-03-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Bacteria utilize dynamic appendages called type IV pili (T4P) to interact with their environment and mediate a wide variety of functions. Pilus extension is mediated by an extension ATPase motor, commonly called PilB, in all T4P. Pilus retraction, however, can either occur with the aid of an ATPase motor, or in the absence of a retraction motor. While much effort has been devoted to studying mot...
