Complete functional analysis of type IV pilus components of a reemergent plant pathogen reveals neofunctionalization of paralog genes

2022-10-24

Abstract excerpt

Type IV pilus (TFP) is a multifunctional bacterial structure involved in twitching motility, adhesion, biofilm formation, as well as natural competence. Here, by mutagenesis and functional analysis, we dissected the roles of all genes required for TFP biosynthesis and regulation in the reemergent plant pathogenic fastidious prokaryote Xylella fastidiosa . This xylem-limited, insect-transmitted pathogen lives cons...
