The role of proteinaceous toxins secreted by Staphylococcus aureus in interbacterial competition [PDF]

open access: yes
\ua9 2024 The Author(s). Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of FEMS. Staphylococcus aureus is highly adapted to colonization of the mammalian host. In humans the primary site of colonization is the epithelium of the nasal cavity.

A Putative Lipoprotein Mediates Cell-Cell Contact for Type VI Secretion System-Dependent Killing of Specific Competitors

open access: yesmBio, 2022
Interbacterial competition is prevalent in host-associated microbiota, where it can shape community structure and function, impacting host health in both positive and negative ways.

Phytochrome mediated responses in Agrobacterium fabrum : growth, swimming, plant infection and interbacterial competition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Abstract The soil bacterium Agrobacterium fabrum C58 infects plants by a unique DNA transfer mechanism. A. fabrum has two phytochrome photoreceptors, Agp1 and Agp2. We found that DNA transfer into plants by A. fabrum

Soil Inoculation and Blocker-Mediated Sequencing Show Effects of the Antibacterial T6SS on Agrobacterial Tumorigenesis and Gallobiome

open access: yesmBio, 2023
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is deployed by many proteobacteria to secrete effector proteins into bacterial competitors for competition or eukaryotic cells for pathogenesis.

Promoter Swapping Unveils the Role of the Citrobacter rodentium CTS1 Type VI Secretion System in Interbacterial Competition [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2013
ABSTRACT The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a versatile secretion machine dedicated to various functions in Gram-negative bacteria, including virulence toward eukaryotic cells and antibacterial activity. Activity of T6SS might be followed in vitro by the release of two proteins, Hcp and VgrG, in the ...

Calcium Promotes T6SS-Mediated Killing and Aggregation between Competing Symbionts

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
Bacteria use a variety of strategies to exclude competitors from accessing resources, including space within a host niche. Because these mechanisms are typically costly to deploy, they are often tightly regulated for use in environments where the ...

The outer-membrane protein MafA of Neisseria meningitidis constitutes a novel protein secretion pathway specific for the fratricide protein MafB

open access: yesVirulence, 2020
MafB proteins are toxins secreted by Neisseria spp. which are involved in interbacterial competition. Their secretion mechanism has so far not been elucidated. Each strain can produce several MafB variants. On the chromosome, the mafB genes are localized

Structural basis for effector transmembrane domain recognition by type VI secretion system chaperones

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) deliver antibacterial effector proteins between neighboring bacteria. Many effectors harbor N-terminal transmembrane domains (TMDs) implicated in effector translocation across target cell membranes.

Relaxed specificity of BcpB transporters mediates interactions between Burkholderia cepacia complex contact-dependent growth inhibition systems

open access: yesmSphere, 2023
Belonging to the two-partner secretion family of proteins, contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) systems mediate interbacterial antagonism among closely related Gram-negative bacteria.
