Abstract excerpt

Type IV pili (T4Ps) are long cell surface filaments, essential for microcolony formation, tissue adherence, motility, transformation, and virulence by human pathogens. The enteropathogenic Escherichia coli bundle-forming pilus is a prototypic T4P assembled and powered by BfpD, a conserved GspE secretion superfamily ATPase held by inner-membrane proteins BfpC and BfpE, a GspF-family membrane protein. Although the...
