Force-Induced Changes of PilY1 Drive Surface Sensing by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Force-Induced Changes of PilY1 Drive Surface Sensing by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

ABSTRACT During biofilm formation, the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses its type IV pili (TFP) to sense a surface, eliciting increased second-messenger production and regulating target pathways required to adapt to a surface lifestyle. The mechanisms whereby TFP detect surface cont...
