Bacterial type IV pili perform important functions in such disparate biological processes as surface adhesion, cell-cell interactions, autoaggregation, conjugation, and twitching motility. Unlike bacteria, archaea use a type IV pilus related structure to drive swimming motility. While this unique flagellum is the best-studied example of an archaeal IV pilus-like structure, recent in silico, in vivo and structural analyses have revealed a highly diverse set of archaeal non-flagellar type IV pilus-like structures. Accumulating evidence suggests that these structures play important diverse roles in archaea.
