Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.A newly identified virulence family from Pectobacterium parvum that binds plant defensive compounds (e.g., solanidine) with high affinity enhances bacterial tolerance and is required for full virulence. This trade‐off between defence and growth reveals a key host‐adaptation strategy.

Putative model for the Francisella T6SS.
, 2016 The model was adapted from [13]. The Francisella T6SS is presented in the contraction phase. While the interaction of IglF and IglG was demonstrated in this study, the function and the localization of IglF within the T6SS remain to be determined.

The Roles of Two Type VI Secretion Systems in Cronobacter sakazakii ATCC 12868
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The type VI secretion system (T6SS), which has been found in 25% of gram-negative bacteria, is a crucial virulence factor in several pathogens. Although T6SS gene loci have been discovered in Cronobacter species, one of the major opportunistic foodborne ...

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.PhcQ is a key intermediary stabiliser of PhcA controlling quorum sensing‐dependent phenotypes by maintaining protein stability of PhcA. It is downstream of PhcB and upstream of PhcA in the QS regulatory cascade. It binds to PhcA; deletion of a disordered tail in the PhcA C‐terminus impairs its binding affinity.

T6SS-dependent competition among V. cholerae isolates.
, 2013 (A–C) Smooth V. cholerae isolates successfully competed with each other and outcompeted the rough isolates in a T6SS-dependent manner. All combinations among the isolates and their isogenic vasK mutants were tested in a killing assay: Predator- and prey ...

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS
FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 11, Page 1589-1604, June 2026.We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...
