Cryo-EM structure of the bifunctional secretin complex of Thermus thermophilus

Cryo-EM structure of the bifunctional secretin complex of Thermus thermophilus

Secretins form multimeric channels across the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria that mediate the import or export of substrates and/or extrusion of type IV pili. The secretin complex of Thermus thermophilus is an oligomer of the 757-residue PilQ protein, essential for DNA uptake and pilus ext...
