Structure of the Neisseria meningitidis Type IV pilus

Type IV pili are present on a wide range of bacterial pathogens and mediate diverse functions. Here the authors report a high resolution crystal structure of the pilin subunit PilE, and a cryoEM reconstruction of the Type IV pilus filament from N. meningitidisthat offer insight into pilus assembly a...
