bindosome complex
A membrane-associated protein complex found in archaea that consists of sugar binding proteins assembled via a type IV pilin-like assembly system. The complex is located at the cell surface and functions in sugar uptake by facilitating the interaction between solute binding proteins and ABC transporters. The complex forms high molecular mass structures (400-600 kDa) that are integrated within or closely associated with the S-layer.
