β-strand addition within tip initiation complexes licenses assembly of diverse type IV filaments
How PilC/PilY1 can be retained on the fiber tip under enormous tensile loads generated during mechanical shear and T4P retraction is explained and how diverse T4P systems employ β-strand addition to license fiber assembly is demonstrated.
