The Iho670 fibers of the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon of Ignicoccus hospitalis were shown to contain several features that indicate them as type IV pilus-like structures. The application of different visualization methods, including electron tomography and the reconstruction of a three-dimensional model, enabled a detailed description of a hitherto undescribed anchoring structure of the cell appendages. It could be identified as a spherical structure beneath the inner membrane. Furthermore, pools of the fiber protein Iho670 could be localized in the inner as well as the outer cellular membrane of I. hospitalis cells and in the tubes/vesicles in the intermembrane compartment by immunological methods.
