Abstract excerpt

Type IV pili (T4P) are filamentous appendages found on many Bacteria and Archaea. They are helical fibres of pilin proteins assembled by a multi-component macromolecular machine we call the basal body. Based on pilin features, T4P are classified into type IVa pili (T4aP) and type IVb pili (T4bP)1,2. T4aP are more widespread and are involved in cell motility3, DNA transfer4, host predation5 and electron transfer6....
