Components and dynamics of fiber formation define a ubiquitous biogenesis pathway for bacterial pili.

The EMBO journal - 1 Dec 2000

Abstract excerpt

Type IV pili (Tfp) are a unique class of multifunctional surface organelles in Gram-negative bacteria, which play important roles in prokaryotic cell biology. Although components of the Tfp biogenesis machinery have been characterized, it is not clear how they function or interact. Using Neisseria gonorrhoeae as a model system, we report here that organelle biogenesis can be resolved into two discrete steps:...
