Abstract
The article focuses on how a small RNA virus, PP7, detaches Pseudomonas aeruginosa's type IV pili (T4P), impacting motility. Topics discussed include PP7's mechanism of T4P detachment, revealed through cryo-EM structures, and the influence of host retraction ATPases and pilus mutants on detachment, suggesting broader implications for ssRNA phages.
