The type IV pilin PilA couples surface attachment and cell cycle initiation in Caulobacter crescentus

L. Del Medico, D. Cerletti, M. Christen, B. Christen

The paper identifies PilA as a signaling protein that links surface attachment to cell cycle initiation in Caulobacter crescentus via c-di-GMP and shows synthetic peptides can mimic this process.
