Citation | Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2022Title: Electron cryo-microscopy reveals the structure of the archaeal thread filament. Authors: Matthew C Gaines / Michail N Isupov / Shamphavi Sivabalasarma / Risat Ul Haque / Mathew McLaren / Clara L Mollat / Patrick Tripp / Alexander Neuhaus / Vicki A M Gold / Sonja-Verena Albers / Bertram Daum / ![]() Abstract: Pili are filamentous surface extensions that play roles in bacterial and archaeal cellular processes such as adhesion, biofilm formation, motility, cell-cell communication, DNA uptake and horizontal ...Pili are filamentous surface extensions that play roles in bacterial and archaeal cellular processes such as adhesion, biofilm formation, motility, cell-cell communication, DNA uptake and horizontal gene transfer. The model archaeaon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius assembles three filaments of the type-IV pilus superfamily (archaella, archaeal adhesion pili and UV-inducible pili), as well as a so-far uncharacterised fourth filament, named "thread". Here, we report on the cryo-EM structure of the archaeal thread. The filament is highly glycosylated and consists of subunits of the protein Saci_0406, arranged in a head-to-tail manner. Saci_0406 displays structural similarity, but low sequence homology, to bacterial type-I pilins. Thread subunits are interconnected via donor strand complementation, a feature reminiscent of bacterial chaperone-usher pili. However, despite these similarities in overall architecture, archaeal threads appear to have evolved independently and are likely assembled by a distinct mechanism. | ||||||
