Major type IV pilin of Legionella pneumophila enhances bacterial iron acquisition/assimilation, independently of its role in piliation

ABSTRACT We identified a locus within the genome of Legionella pneumophila strain 130b that encodes two related type IV pilins, PilA1 and PilA2. Based on in silico analyses, both proteins were predicted to be major pilins in all L. pneumophila strains and nearly all Legionella species. Utilizing imm...
