Here, using electron cryotomography, we reveal the molecular architecture of the Helicobacter pylori cag T4SS. Although most components are unique to H. pylori, the cag T4SS exhibits remarkable architectural similarity to other T4SSs. Our images revealed that, when H. pylori encounters host cells, the bacterium elaborates membranous tubes perforated by lateral ports. Sub-tomogram averaging of the cag T4SS machinery revealed periplasmic densities associated with the outer membrane, a central stalk, and peripheral wing-like densities. Additionally, we resolved pilus-like rod structures extending from the cag T4SS into the inner membrane, as well as densities within the cytoplasmic apparatus corresponding to a short central barrel surrounded by four longer barrels. Collectively, these studies reveal the structure of a dynamic molecular machine that evolved to function in the human gastric niche. |
