Citation | Journal: Sci Adv / Year: 2024Title: Structural mechanisms of Tad pilus assembly and its interaction with an RNA virus. Authors: Yuhang Wang / Matthew Theodore / Zhongliang Xing / Utkarsh Narsaria / Zihao Yu / Lanying Zeng / Junjie Zhang / ![]() Abstract: Tad (tight adherence) pili, part of the type IV pili family, are crucial for mechanosensing, surface adherence, bacteriophage (phage) adsorption, and cell-cycle regulation. Unlike other type IV ... Tad (tight adherence) pili, part of the type IV pili family, are crucial for mechanosensing, surface adherence, bacteriophage (phage) adsorption, and cell-cycle regulation. Unlike other type IV pilins, Tad pilins lack the typical globular β sheet domain responsible for pilus assembly and phage binding. The mechanisms of Tad pilus assembly and its interaction with phage ΦCb5 have been elusive. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we unveiled the Tad pilus assembly mechanism, featuring a unique network of hydrogen bonds at its core. We then identified the Tad pilus binding to the ΦCb5 maturation protein (Mat) through its β region. Notably, the amino terminus of ΦCb5 Mat is exposed outside the capsid and phage/pilus interface, enabling the attachment of fluorescent and affinity tags. These engineered ΦCb5 virions can be efficiently assembled and purified in , maintaining infectivity against , which presents promising applications, including RNA delivery and phage display. | |||||||||
