cAMP-independent control of twitching motility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Abstract

ABSTRACT FimV is a Pseudomonas aeruginosa inner membrane hub protein that modulates levels of the second messenger, cyclic AMP (cAMP), through activation of the adenylate cyclase, CyaB. Although type IVa pilus (T4aP)-dependent twitching motility is modulated by cAMP levels, mutants lacking FimV are twitching impaired, even when exogenous cAMP is provided. Here we further define FimV’s cAMP-dependent and -independent regulation of twitching. We …
