Discovery of PilU as a second type IV pilus retraction motor in Myxococcus xanthus

The first mechanistic characterization of PilU in Myxococcus xanthus, a model for multicellular behavior and T4P biology, shows that PilU is essential for productive T4P retraction, functioning as an accessory motor that enhances or stabilizes PilT-driven force generation.

Discovery of PilU as a second Type IV pilus retraction motor in Myxococcus xanthus

It is shown that PilU is essential for productive T4P retraction, functioning as an accessory motor that enhances or stabilizes PilT-driven force generation, and it is revealed that PilU activity is modulated by environmental calcium and depends on a flexible C-terminal region that influences motor complex dynamics.
