Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Plays an essential role in the assembly of two types of T4P pili: a wide and a narrow that participate in natural transformation and twitching motility (PubMed:32376942). Major component of the wide pilus that is essential for natural transformation working as a DNA translocator structure that spans the inner and outer membranes (PubMed:12839734, PubMed:19396940, PubMed:32376942, PubMed:16857013). In addition, participates in the assembly of the narrow pilus composed of the PilA5 subunit that is required for twitching motility (PubMed:32376942).
