Extended Data Fig. 5: Comparison between K. oxytoca pseudopili (PDB code 5WDA), P. aeruginosa T4P (PDB code 5XVY), G. sulfurreducens PilA-N–C filament and G. sulfurreducens PilA-N-alone filament model.

a, Helical arrangement with P and P + 4 subunits shown in the same colour. b, Hydrophobicity surface coloured from yellow (hydrophobic) to blue (hydrophilic). c, Interactions between PilA-N determines the structure as 1-start, 3-start and 4-start helix. d, Interactions between PilA-N and PilA-C, which is consistent with the studies on monomers that mutating E39 or E60 could disrupt the interactions while mutating E48 showed no disruption.
