In situ structure of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system by electron cryotomography
Type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are large macromolecular machines that translocate protein and DNA and are involved in the pathogenesis of multiple human diseases. Here, using electron cryotomography (ECT), we report the in situ...
