<i>In situ</i> Architecture of the Tad Pilus Machine in <i>Caulobacter crescentus</i>

2025-11-05

Abstract excerpt

The Tight adherence (Tad) pilus is a broadly distributed and evolutionarily distinct subclass of type IV pili that mediates cell adhesion, biofilm formation, predation, and surface sensing in many bacteria, including Caulobacter crescentus , Myxococcus xanthus , Vibrio vulnificus , and Bifidobacterium breve . Tad pili undergo cycles of extension and retraction powered by a cell-envelope-embedded nanomachine. D...
