Function

PAPC_ECOLX Involved in the export and assembly of pili subunits across the outer membrane. Forms a hexameric ring-shaped pore in the outer bacterial membrane. The 2 nanometer-diameter pore allows the passage of the thin tip fibrillum. As for the rod, it probably unwinds into linear fibers which would therefore be narrow enough to pass through the pore.
