== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PILB_THET8 PILB_THET8] ATPase component of the type IV pilus (T4P) that plays a role in surface and host cell adhesion, colonization, biofilm maturation, virulence, and twitching, a form of surface-associated motility facilitated by cycles of extension, adhesion, and retraction of T4P fibers (By similarity) (PubMed:29717025). Acts as a molecular motor to provide the energy that is required for biogenesis of the pilus and the extrusion of substrates generated in the cytoplasm (PubMed:27667690). PilB ATPase activity is also essential for T4P extension while antagonist PilT ATPase activity is required for T4P retraction (By similarity).[UniProtKB:P22608][UniProtKB:Q1D098]<ref>PMID:27667690</ref> <ref>PMID:29717025</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
c-di-GMP is an important second messenger in bacteria regulating, for example motility, biofilm formation, cell wall biosynthesis, infectivity, and natural transformability. It binds to a multitude of intracellular receptors. This includes proteins containing general secretory pathway II (GSPII) domains such as the N-terminal domain of the Vibrio cholerae ATPase MshE (MshEN) which binds c-di-GMP with two copies of a 24-amino acids sequence motif. The traffic ATPase PilF from Thermus thermophilus is important for type IV pilus biogenesis, twitching motility, surface attachment, and natural DNA-uptake and contains three consecutive homologous GPSII domains. We show that only two of these domains bind c-di-GMP and define the structural basis for the exceptional high affinity of the GSPII-B domain for c-di-GMP, which is 83-fold higher than that of the prototypical MshEN domain. Our work establishes an extended consensus sequence for the c-di-GMP-binding motif and highlights the role of hydrophobic residues for high-affinity recognition of c-di-GMP. Our structure is the first example for a c-di-GMP-binding domain not relying on arginine residues for ligand recognition. We also show that c-di-GMP-binding induces local unwinding of an alpha-helical turn as well as subdomain reorientation to reinforce intermolecular contacts between c-di-GMP and the C-terminal subdomain. Abolishing c-di-GMP binding to GSPII-B reduces twitching motility and surface attachment but not natural DNA-uptake. Overall, our work contributes to a better characterization of c-di-GMP binding in this class of effector domains, allows the prediction of high-affinity c-di-GMP-binding family members, and advances our understanding of the importance of c-di-GMP binding for T4P-related functions.
