Putative model of the pCW3 conjugation apparatus. The relative locations and known protein-protein interactions of the TcpA (A) (orange), TcpH (H) (brown), TcpC (C) (green), TcpG (purple), and TcpF (F) (red) proteins are based on data from previous studies (236, 242, 244, 245, 248). (Based on a model prepared by Jessica Wisniewski, Monash University.)
