Full structure/function analysis of all the pilin subunits in a type 4 pilus: a complex of minor pilins in Streptococcus sanguinis mediates binding to glycans

M. Shahin, D. Sheppard, C. Raynaud, J.-L. Berry, I. Gurung, L. M. SIlva, T. Feizi, Y. Liu, V. Pelicic

The paper determines the structures and functions of minor pilins in Streptococcus sanguinis T4P, showing they form a tip complex that mediates adhesion to host glycans.
