Complete functional analysis of type IV pilus components of a reemergent plant pathogen reveals neofunctionalization of paralog genes

Type IV pilus (TFP) is a multifunctional bacterial structure involved in twitching motility, adhesion, biofilm formation, as well as natural competence. Here, by site-directed mutagenesis and functional analysis, we determined the phenotype conferred by each of the 38 genes known to be required for...
