Cryo-EM structure of the Type IV pilus extension ATPase from enteropathogenic Escherichia coli

The paper reports the cryo-EM structures of the BfpD ATPase from EPEC in different nucleotide states, revealing divergent quaternary configurations and suggesting a new mechanism for T4P extension.

Investigation of the in vitro and in vivo activity of the type IV pilus extension ATPase BfpD

This study investigates the ATPase activity of BfpD, a type IV pilus extension ATPase in EPEC, revealing contamination issues and functional differences between BfpD and BfpF mutants.
