The mechanism for polar localization of the type IVa pilus machine in Myxococcus xanthus

ABSTRACT Type IVa pili (T4aP) are important for bacterial motility, adhesion, biofilm formation, and virulence. This versatility is based on their cycles of extension, adhesion, and retraction. The conserved T4aP machine (T4aPM) drives these cycles; however, the piliation pattern varies between spec...
