Mutations Suppressing the Lack of Prepilin Peptidase Provide Insights Into the Maturation of the Major Pilin Protein in Cyanobacteria

Type IV pili are bacterial surface-exposed filaments that are built up by small monomers called pilin proteins. Pilins are synthesized as longer precursors (prepilins), the N-terminal signal peptide of which must be removed by the processing protease PilD. A mutant of the cyanobacterium Synechocysti...
