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

J. L. Chlebek, T. N. Dalia, N. Biais, A. B. Dalia

This study investigates motor-independent retraction of Vibrio cholerae competence type IV pili and finds that freshly extended pili can retract without a retraction motor, but static pili can later retract via motor-dependent mechanisms.

PilT and PilU are homohexameric ATPases that coordinate to retract type IVa pili

J. L. Chlebek, H. Q. Hughes, A. S. Ratkiewicz, R. Rayyan, J. C.-Y. Wang, B. E. Herrin, T. N. Dalia, N. Biais, A. B. Dalia

This paper identifies PilU as a PilT-dependent retraction ATPase that works with PilT to retract type IVa pili in Vibrio cholerae and Acinetobacter baylyi.

A bifunctional ATPase drives tad pilus extension and retraction

C. K. Ellison, J. Kan, J. L. Chlebek, K. R. Hummels, G. Panis, P. H. Viollier, N. Biais, A. B. Dalia, Y. Brun

This study identifies a bifunctional ATPase, CpaF, that drives both extension and retraction of tad pili in Caulobacter crescentus through ATP hydrolysis.

Global biochemical and structural analysis of the type IV pilus from the Gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus sanguinis

J.-L. Berry, I. Gurung, J. H. Anonsen, I. Spielman, E. Harper, A. M. J. Hall, V. J. Goosens, C. Raynaud, M. Koomey, N. Biais, S. Matthews, V. Pelicic

This study presents the first global biochemical and structural analysis of type IV pili in a Gram-positive bacterium, revealing unique features of pilin processing, structure, and function.

Obstruction of pilus retraction stimulates bacterial surface sensing

C. K. Ellison, J. Kan, R. S. Dillard, D. T. Kysela, C. M. Hampton, Z. Ke, E. R. Wright, N. Biais, A. B. Dalia, Y. V. Brun

The paper shows that blocking pilus retraction in Caulobacter crescentus stimulates holdfast synthesis without surface contact, indicating pilus retraction is used for surface sensing.
