Chapter
The Pseudomonas aeruginosa type IV pilus assembly system in three dimensions.
Abstract
Abstract
This chapter discusses recent structure-function insights into type IV pilus (T4P) and type II secretion (T2S) components, highlighting those that might relate to the motility function of T4aP. It also offers explanations on how and where the assembly systems are inserted into the cell envelope, and how assembly dynamics may be controlled.
