Pil-Chp orchestrates a multi-level regulatory system to control type IV pilus dynamics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
The cyclical extension and retraction dynamics of type IV pili (T4P) mediate critical virulence traits in many bacterial species, yet how these dynamics are regulated remain poorly understood. Here, by analyzing individual pilus dynamics across mutants covering the entire T4P system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, we identi...
