Show abstract
The flagellar type III secretion system (fT3SS) is a suite of membrane-embedded and cytoplasmic proteins responsible for building the bacterial flagellar motility machinery. Homologous proteins form the injectisome machinery bacteria use to deliver effector proteins into eukaryotic cells, and other family members have recently been reported to be involved in the formation of membrane nanotubes. Here we describe a novel, ubiquitous and evolutionarily widespread hat-shaped structure embedded in the inner membrane of bacteria, of yet-unidentified function, that is related to the fT3SS, adding to the already rich repertoire of this family of nanomachines.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
