Molecular architecture of bacterial type IV secretion systems
In this Review, Sheedlo et al. compare the molecular architectures of T4SSs, focusing especially on the structures of core complexes. They discuss structural features that are shared by multiple T4SSs as well as evolutionary strategies used for T4SS diversification. Finally, they discuss how structural variations among T4SSs may confer specialized functional properties.
