Bacterial pathogens use an injectisome to deliver virulence proteins into eukaryotic host cells. The bacterial flagellum and injectisome export their component proteins for self-assembly. These two systems show high structural similarities and are classified as the type III secretion system, but it remains elusive how similar they are in situ because the structures of these complexes isolated from cells and visualized by electron cryomicroscopy have shown only the export channel and housing for ...[more]
