Many cyanobacteria exhibit twitching or gliding motility powered by type 4 pili. In Nostoc punctiforme directional reversals induced by changes in light intensity are preceded by the dynamic relocalization of the HmpF, a novel component of the Hmp chemotaxis system, from leading to lagging poles. For details, see the article by Cho et al . on pp. 252–265 of this issue.
