Structural characterization of outer membrane components of the type IV pili system in pathogenic Neisseria.

Structural characterization of outer membrane components of the type IV pili system in pathogenic Neisseria.

Structures of the type IV pili secretin complexes from Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis, embedded in outer membranes were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Single particle averaging revealed additional domains not observed previously. Secretin complexes of N. gonorrho...
