Deskripsi

A membrane-embedded complex (called T4CC) is essential for injection of Legionella pneumophila effector proteins into human macrophages via a Type IV secretion system. Here, the authors purify and study the T4CC using functional and cryo-EM structural analyses, providing insights into the secretion mechanisms.
