  • The cells of many archaeal species display surface appendages that closely resemble bacterial Type IV pili (T4P). Here, Gaines et al. present a cryoEM structure of the archaeal adhesive pilus from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, showing that the structure of the component subunit follows the canonical T4P blueprint but adopts three distinct conformations within the pilus.

  • The model archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius produces several protein filaments with specialised functions, including flagellum-like archaella, Aap pili, and adhesive threads. Here, the authors describe high-resolution structures and distinct glycosylation patterns for the three filaments, and present an integrated model of the filaments in the context of the S-layer.

  • Pili are filamentous appendages on the surface of bacteria and archaea, and play roles in multiple processes such as adhesion, motility and horizontal gene transfer. Here, Gaines et al. describe the structure of a new type of pilus, termed ‘thread’, from the model archaeaon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius.
