Acinetobacter baylyi regulates type IV pilus synthesis by employing two extension motors and a motor protein inhibitor

Bacteria use extracellular appendages called type IV pili (T4P) for diverse behaviors including DNA uptake, surface sensing, virulence, protein secretion, and twitching motility. Dynamic extension and retraction of T4P is essential for their function, and T4P extension is thought to occur through th...
