Structural insights into the Thermus thermophilus type IV pilus machinery assembling two distinct pili

Abstract Type IV pili are long, filamentous structures that extend from bacterial cell surfaces, enabling cells to respond to changing environments and facilitating genome plasticity. Thermus thermophilus HB27 produces two different type IV pili, each exhibiting distinct structural and functional pr...
