We characterised the role of temperature on T3SS efficiency in P. syringae, showing that bacterial behaviour in response to temperature is highly variable among strains, even among very closely related ones. Our study provides further evidence of the need to investigate the diversity of pathogenic organisms beyond model strains.

MIX and match: mobile T6SS MIX-effectors enhance bacterial fitness [PDF]
Protein secretion systems that mediate interbacterial competition secret a wide repertoire of antibacterial toxins. A major player in these competitions is the newly discovered bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS). We recently found that a subset of polymorphic MIX-effectors, which are a widespread class of effectors secreted by T6SSs, are ...

Electron Cryotomography of Bacterial Secretion Systems [PDF]
In biology, function arises from form. For bacterial secretion systems, which often span two membranes, avidly bind to the cell wall, and contain hundreds of individual proteins, studying form is a daunting task, made possible by electron cryotomography (

Transcriptional Response of Mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Human Respiratory Mucus [PDF]
Adaptation of bacterial pathogens to a host can lead to the selection and accumulation of specific mutations in their genomes with profound effects on the overall physiology and virulence of the organisms.

The Type VI secretion system:a versatile bacterial weapon [PDF]
The Type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a protein nanomachine that is widespread in Gram-negative bacteria and is used to translocate effector proteins directly into neighbouring cells. It represents a versatile bacterial weapon that can deliver effectors

Human Pleural Fluid Elicits Pyruvate and Phenylalanine Metabolism in Acinetobacter baumannii to Enhance Cytotoxicity and Immune Evasion [PDF]
The CCAAT box-harboring proteins represent a family of heterotrimeric transcription factors which is highly conserved in eukaryotes. In fungi, one of the particularly important homologs of this family is the Hap complex that separates the DNA-binding ...

Chitin-induced T6SS in Vibrio cholerae is dependent on ChiS activation
Vibrio cholerae regularly colonizes the chitinous exoskeleton of crustacean shells in the aquatic region. The type 6 secretion system (T6SS) in V. cholerae is an interbacterial killing device. This system is thought to provide a competitive advantage to V. cholerae in a polymicrobial community of the aquatic region under nutrient-poor conditions.

Killing with proficiency:integrated post-translational regulation of an offensive Type VI secretion system [PDF]
The Type VI secretion system (T6SS) is widely used by bacterial pathogens as an effective weapon against bacterial competitors and is also deployed against host eukaryotic cells in some cases. It is a contractile nanomachine which delivers toxic effector
