Even though DMS3 is a #Pseudomonas #phage, Nathan showed that Aqs1 could inhibit the function of other #T4P family ATPases, including #T2SS GspE, PilB from #Stenotrophomonas (twitching) and PilB from #Acinetobacter (DNA uptake). These data point to a new allosteric vulnerability of PilB homologues.

New paper alert! Outstanding work by PhD candidate Nathan Roberge, great collab with the Ellison and Maxwell labs. #Pseudomonas #phage DMS3 encodes Aqs1, an inhibitor of #T4P assembly ATPase PilB, but how it binds and leads to loss of function was unknown. @mcmasteriidr.bsky.social
