Ion-driven motors are rare in biology. The archetypes of the three classes identified to date are ATP synthase, the bacterial flagellar motor, and a proton-driven motor that powers gliding motility and protein secretion in Bacteroidetes bacteria. Whilst the molecular mechanism of ATP synthase is now well understood, structural information is lacking for the other two classes of motor. Here we present the structure of the Bacteroidetes gliding motility...
