Abstract
The dynamic interface between pathogenic bacteria and host cells is a focus of many current studies. Agrobacterium tumefaciens elaborates T pili on its surface that function in the directed type IV secretion of bacterial products into plant host cells. To elucidate the mechanism by which direct cell-to-cell transfer is accomplished, Christie's group have focused on outer membrane-associated proteins encoded by the virB gene cluster that might be responsible for contact and possibly channel formation.
