Cryo-Electron Microscopy of BfpB Reveals a Type IVb Secretin Multimer Adapted to Accommodate the Exceptionally Wide Bundle-Forming Pilus

Type IV pili (T4Ps) are multifunctional surface fibers essential for bacterial motility, adhesion, and virulence, found across Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and archaea. Detailed descriptions of T4P structural biology are allowing progress in understanding T4P biogenesis. Secretins, large...
