Type VI secretion system : secretion by a contractile nanomachine [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015 The type VI secretion systems (T6SS) are present in about a quarter of all Gram-negative bacteria. Several key components of T6SS are evolutionarily related to components of contractile nanomachines such as phages and R-type pyocins. The T6SS assembly is

Adaptor proteins of type VI secretion system effectors [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2017 Bacteria use the type VI secretion system (T6SS) to kill neighboring cells. One key feature of the T6SS is the secretion of diverse effectors. Here, we discuss six publications that describe three superfamilies of T6SS proteins, each dedicated to mediate

Tagging the type VI secretion system [PDF]
Nature Microbiology, 2018 International audienceBacteria use multiple mechanisms to secrete proteins across their envelope and gain access to resources in their niche. The type VI secretion system (T6SS) specializes in injecting toxic protein effectors by direct contact, killing ...

The type VI secretion system: a tubular story [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 2009 The molecular mechanism by which proteins are secreted in gram-negative bacteria is supported by nanomachines called type I to type VI secretion systems (T1SS to T6SS).

Presence and absence of type VI secretion systems in bacteria [PDF]
Microbiology (Reading, England), 2022 The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a molecular puncturing device that enables Gram-negative bacteria to kill competitors, manipulate host cells and take up nutrients. Who would want to miss such superpowers?

Roles of Type VI Secretion System in Transport of Metal Ions [PDF]
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 ...

A binary effector module secreted by a type VI secretion system [PDF]
The EMBO Reports, 2021 ABSTRACT Gram-negative bacteria use type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) to deliver toxic effector proteins into neighboring cells. Cargo effectors are secreted by binding non-covalently to the T6SS apparatus. Occasionally, effector secretion is assisted by an adaptor protein, although the adaptor itself is not secreted.

Type VI secretion system [PDF]
Current Biology, 2015 Bacteria employ a variety of tools to survive in a competitive environment. Salomon and Orth describe one such tool-the Type 6 Secretion Systems used by bacteria to deliver a variety of toxins into competing cells.
