Microreview: type IV secretion systems: versatility and diversity in function [PDF]
, 2010 Type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are large protein complexes which traverse the cell envelope of many bacteria. They contain a channel through which proteins or protein–DNA complexes can be translocated.

Established microbial colonies can survive type VI secretion assault [PDF]
, 2015 Type VI secretion (T6S) is a cell-to-cell injection system that can be used as a microbial weapon. T6S kills vulnerable cells, and is present in close to 25% of sequenced Gram-negative bacteria.

The type VI secretion system encoded in SPI-6 plays a role in gastrointestinal colonization and systemic spread of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in the chicken. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The role of the Salmonella Pathogenicity Islands (SPIs) in pathogenesis of Salmonella enterica Typhimurium infection in the chicken is poorly studied, while many studies have been completed in murine models.

Structures of the Type IX Secretion/Gliding Motility Motor from across the Phylum Bacteroidetes
mBio, 2022 Gliding motility using cell surface adhesins, and export of proteins by the type IX secretion system (T9SS) are two phylum-specific features of the Bacteroidetes.

Assembly and regulation of the type III secretion system of "Yersinia enterocolitica" [PDF]
, 2010 We investigated the assembly of the Yersinia enterocolitica type III secretion injectisome by grafting fluorescent proteins onto several components, YscC (outer-membrane (OM) ring), YscD (forms the inner-membrane (IM) ring together with YscJ), YscN ...

Helicobacter pylori type IV secretion apparatus exploits beta1 integrin in a novel RGD-independent manner. [PDF]
, 2009 Translocation of the Helicobacter pylori (Hp) cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) effector protein via the cag-Type IV Secretion System (T4SS) into host cells is a major risk factor for severe gastric diseases, including gastric cancer.

Computational analysis of the ESX-1 region of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: insights into the mechanism of type VII secretion system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Type VII secretion system (T7SS) is a recent discovery in bacterial secretion systems. First identified in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, this secretion system has later been reported in organisms belonging to the Actinomycetales order and even to distant ...

Assembly and arrangement of the type three secretion system of "yersinia enterocolitica" [PDF]
, 2014 The type three secretion system (T3SS) is a bacterial weapon found in many Gram-negative bacteria. It consists out of a needle like structure called injectisome, which enables bacteria to inject effector proteins into eukaryotic cells. The injectisome is
