• In this issue of Cell, Kreutzberger and colleagues report the near-atomic-resolution, cryo-EM structures of the supercoiled filaments of both bacterial and archaeal motility machines. Despite the lack of homology, the supercoiled filament structures reveal shared fundamental features of prokaryotic locomotion and represent a prime example of convergent evolution.
