Diversification of the type IV filament superfamily into machines for adhesion, protein secretion, DNA uptake, and motility.
Processes of molecular innovation require tinkering and shifting in the function of existing genes. How this occurs in terms of molecular evolution at long evolutionary scales remains poorly understood. Here, we analyse the natural history of a vast group of membrane-associated molecular systems in...
