PilX colocalizes with the pilus filaments. By using immuno-transmission electron microscopy, gold particles that correspond to PilX molecules were seen on Tfp bundles in the WT and pilX/pilXWT strains. (Scale bars: 100 nm.) Images at 27,000-fold magnification show on average 8.6 gold particles for the WT and 41.3 gold particles for the pilX/pilXWT strain, 87% and 78% of which, respectively, are associated with visualizable filaments.
