Abstract

Type IV pili (T4P) are retractable multifunctional nanofibers present on the surface of numerous bacterial and archaeal species. Their importance to microbiology is difficult to overstate. The scientific journey leading to our current understanding of T4P structure and function has included many innovative research milestones. Although multiple T4P reviews over the years have emphasized recent advances, we find that current reports often omit many of the landmark discoveries in this field. Here, we attempt to highlight chronologically the most important work on T4P, from the discovery of pili to the application of sophisticated contemporary methods, which has brought us to our current state of knowledge. As there remains much to learn about the complex machine that assembles and retracts T4P, we hope that this review will increase the interest of current researchers and inspire innovative progress.

IV型皮菌研究的里程碑式发现和最新进展。
IV型菌毛(T4P)是存在于许多细菌和古细菌表面的可伸缩多功能纳米纤维。它们对微生物学的重要性怎么强调都不为过。引导我们目前对T4P结构和功能的理解的科学旅程包括许多创新的研究里程碑。尽管多年来多次T4P评论都强调了最近的进展,但我们发现目前的报道往往忽略了该领域的许多具有里程碑意义的发现。在这里,我们试图按时间顺序突出T4P最重要的工作,从发现毛到复杂的当代方法的应用,这将我们带到我们目前的知识状态。由于对于组装和收回T4P的复杂机器仍有很多需要了解的地方,我们希望这篇综述将增加当前研究人员的兴趣并激发创新进展。

期刊介绍: Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews (MMBR), a journal that explores the significance and interrelationships of recent discoveries in various microbiology fields, publishes review articles that help both specialists and nonspecialists understand and apply the latest findings in their own research. MMBR covers a wide range of topics in microbiology, including microbial ecology, evolution, parasitology, biotechnology, and immunology. The journal caters to scientists with diverse interests in all areas of microbial science and encompasses viruses, bacteria, archaea, fungi, unicellular eukaryotes, and microbial parasites. MMBR primarily publishes authoritative and critical reviews that push the boundaries of knowledge, appealing to both specialists and generalists. The journal often includes descriptive figures and tables to enhance understanding. Indexed/Abstracted in various databases such as Agricola, BIOSIS Previews, CAB Abstracts, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, Chemical Abstracts Service, Current Contents- Life Sciences, EMBASE, Food Science and Technology Abstracts, Illustrata, MEDLINE, Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science), Summon, and Scopus, among others.
