Bacterial type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are widespread nanomachines specialized in the transport across cell envelope of various types molecules including mobile genetic elements during conjugation. Despite their prevalence Gram-positive bacteria, relevant pathogens, assembly and functioning remain unknown. This study addresses these gaps by investigating VirB8 proteins, known to be central components conjugative T4SSs bacteria. However, functional packing precise role biology undefined....
