Abstract excerpt
The Agrobacterium tumefaciens VirB/VirD4 type IV secretion system is composed of a translocation channel and an extracellular T pilus. Bitopic VirB10, the VirB7 lipoprotein, and VirB9 interact to form a cell envelope-spanning structural scaffold termed the "core complex" that is required for the assembly of both structures. The related pKM101-encoded core complex is composed of 14 copies each of these VirB...
