A DnaK(Hsp70) Chaperone System Connects Type IV Pilus Activity to Polysaccharide Secretion in Cyanobacteria

ABSTRACT Surface motility powered by type IV pili (T4P) is widespread among bacteria, including the photosynthetic cyanobacteria. This form of movement typically requires the deposition of a motility-associated polysaccharide, and several studies indicate that there is complex coregulation of T4P mo...
