Bacterial surface appendages, flagella, and type IV pili (TFP) are both reported to sense surfaces, but the mechanisms are not well understood. These organelles operate in different ways—flagella rotate and TFP extend and retract. We used cryo-electron tomography, bacterial genetics, microscopy, and biochemistry to show that flagella have coopted a set of proteins from TFP to form a cage around the flagellar motor. This result was unanticipated, as no one previously knew of proteins shared by these two appendages. These coopted proteins give flagella the ability to regulate activities in addition to motility—adherence, microcolony formation, and biofilm building. The work suggests the surprising idea that surface signaling—detected and transmitted through TFP or flagella—shares conserved features. Bacterial flagella and type IV pili (TFP) are surface appendages that enable motility and mechanosensing through distinct mechanisms. These structures were previously thought to have no components in common. Here, we report that TFP and some flagella share proteins PilO, PilN, and PilM, which we identified as part of the Helicobacter pylori flagellar motor. H. pylori mutants lacking PilO or PilN migrated better than wild type in semisolid agar because they continued swimming rather than aggregated into microcolonies, mimicking the TFP-regulated surface response. Like their TFP homologs, flagellar PilO/PilN heterodimers formed a peripheral cage that encircled the flagellar motor. These results indicate that PilO and PilN act similarly in flagella and TFP by differentially regulating motility and microcolony formation when bacteria encounter surfaces.
