Discovery of PilU as a second Type IV pilus retraction motor in Myxococcus xanthus

Mahdia Rahman, Subedi Kalpana, Andrea Harms, Daniel Wall, Anke Treuner‐Lange

This paper identifies PilU as a second T4P retraction motor in M. xanthus, showing it is essential for force generation and modulated by calcium and a flexible C-terminal region.

Molecular insights into the dual activation of PomZ, a ParA/MinD P-loop ATPase, by the two ATPase activating proteins PomX and PomY

Philipp Klos, Andrea Harms, Lotte Søgaard‐Andersen

This study identifies two distinct mechanisms by which PomX and PomY activate PomZ ATPase in Myxococcus xanthus, revealing a non-canonical AAP mechanism for PomY and a role analogous to MinE for PomX.
