The mechanism for polar localization of the type IVa pilus machine
Marco Herfurth, María Pérez-Burgos, Lotte Søgaard-Andersen
This paper investigates how the T4aP machine is polarly localized in M. xanthus, showing that PilQ's AMIN domains bind peptidoglycan to enable Tgl recruitment, which drives secretin multimerization.
