Type IV pilin proteins: versatile molecular modules.

Microbiology and molecular biology reviews : MMBR - 1 Dec 2012

Giltner Carmen L, Nguyen Ylan, Burrows Lori L

Abstract excerpt

Type IV pili (T4P) are multifunctional protein fibers produced on the surfaces of a wide variety of bacteria and archaea. The major subunit of T4P is the type IV pilin, and structurally related proteins are found as components of the type II secretion (T2S) system, where they are called pseudopilins; of DNA uptake/competence systems in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive species; and of flagella, pili, and...
