Large pilin subunits provide distinct structural and mechanical properties for the Myxococcus xanthus type IV pilus

A. Treuner-Lange, W. Zheng, A. Viljoen, S. Lindow, M. Herfurth, Y. F. Dufrene, L. Sogaard-Andersen, E. Egelman

This study solves the structure of Myxococcus xanthus type IV pilus and shows its increased rigidity due to a large C-terminal domain in PilA, enhancing motility on varied surfaces.

Force-induced changes of PilY1 drive surface sensing by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

S. Webster, M. Mathelie-Guinlet, A. Verissimo, D. Schultz, A. Viljoen, C. K. Lee, W. C. Schmidt, G. Wong, Y. Dufrene, G. OToole

This study shows that force-induced conformational changes in PilY1, a TFP tip protein, are required for surface sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, affecting c-di-GMP signaling and biofilm formation.
