Unraveling the molecular mechanisms of DNA capture by the Com pilus in naturally transformable monoderm bacteria
ABSTRACT Transformation is a mechanism of horizontal gene transfer widespread in bacteria. The first step in transformation—capture of exogenous DNA—is mediated by surface-exposed filaments belonging to the type 4 filament (T4F) superfamily. How these protein polymers, composed of major and minor pi...
