Roles of Type VI Secretion System in Transport of Metal Ions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a transmembrane protein nanomachine employed by many gram-negative bacteria to directly translocate effectors into adjacent cells or the extracellular milieu, showing multiple functions in both interbacterial ...

Data_Sheet_1_Two Type VI Secretion DNase Effectors are Utilized for Interbacterial Competition in the Fish Pathogen Pseudomonas plecoglossicida.docx

, 2022
Pseudomonas plecoglossicida is a facultative fish pathogen that possesses three distinct type VI secretion systems (named T6SS-1, T6SS-2, and T6SS-3). Our previous work indicated that only T6SS-2 of P. plecoglossicida mediates interbacterial competition.

Structural disruption of Ntox15 nuclease effector domains by immunity proteins protects against type VI secretion system intoxication in Bacteroidales

mBio, 2023
Bacteroidales use type VI secretion systems (T6SS) to competitively colonize and persist in the colon. We identify a horizontally transferred T6SS with Ntox15 family nuclease effector (Tde1) that mediates interbacterial antagonism among Bacteroidales ...

Kind discrimination and competitive exclusion mediated by contact-dependent growth inhibition systems shape biofilm community structure. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
Contact-Dependent Growth Inhibition (CDI) is a phenomenon in which bacteria use the toxic C-terminus of a large exoprotein (called BcpA in Burkholderia species) to inhibit the growth of neighboring bacteria upon cell-cell contact. CDI systems are present

Fur functions as an activator of T6SS-mediated bacterial dominance and virulence in Aeromonas hydrophila

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Aeromonas hydrophila, a ubiquitous bacterium in aquatic habitats with broad host ranges, has earned the nickname of a ‘Jack-of-all-trades’. However, there is still a limited understanding of the mechanism of how this bacterium fit the competition with ...

Data_Sheet_1_Identification of Type VI Secretion Systems Effector Proteins That Contribute to Interbacterial Competition in Salmonella Dublin.PDF

, 2022
The Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) is a multiprotein device that has emerged as an important fitness and virulence factor for many Gram-negative bacteria through the injection of effector proteins into prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells via a contractile ...

Characterizing the role of the Burkholderia cepacia Type Six Secretion System in interbacterial competition

, 2023
Burkholderia cepacia is a gram-negative bacterium that causes onion soft rot and can also act as an opportunistic pathogen, especially in patients who suffer from cystic fibrosis (CF). B. cepacia has been known to outcompete Pseudomonas spp.

Capsule Protects Acinetobacter baumannii From Inter-Bacterial Competition Mediated by CdiA Toxin

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Currently, Acinetobacter baumannii is considered as one of the most important infectious agents causing hospital acquired infections worldwide. It has been observed that many clinically important pathogens express contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI)
