Type VI secretion systems in plant‐associated bacteria [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2017 Summary The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a bacterial nanomachine used to inject effectors into prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells and is thus involved in both host manipulation and interbacterial competition. The T6SS is widespread among Gram‐negative bacteria, mostly within the Proteobacterium Phylum.

The rise of the Type VI secretion system [PDF]
F1000Prime Reports, 2013 Bacterial cells have developed multiple strategies to communicate with their surrounding environment. The intracellular compartment is separated from the milieu by a relatively impermeable cell envelope through which small molecules can passively diffuse, while larger macromolecules, such as proteins, can be actively transported.

Architecture and assembly of the Type VI secretion system
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2014 The Type VI secretion system (T6SS) delivers protein effectors to diverse cell types including prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, therefore it participates in inter-bacterial competition and pathogenesis. The T6SS is constituted of an envelope-spanning complex anchoring a cytoplasmic tubular edifice.

Diversity of the type VI secretion systems in the Neisseria spp
Microbial Genomics, 2023 Complete Type VI Secretion Systems were identified in the genome sequence data of Neisseria subflava isolates sourced from throat swabs of human volunteers. The previous report was the first to describe two complete Type VI Secretion Systems in these isolates, both ...

A novel stabilization mechanism for the type VI secretion system sheath [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021 Significance The T6SS is a microscopic harpoon that bacteria use to deliver toxins into neighboring cells. While its complex assembly process has been extensively studied, it remains unclear how the two forms (long and short) of the pivotal TssA protein affect T6SS function.

Prediction of type III secretion signals in genomes of gram-negative bacteria [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Pathogenic bacteria infecting both animals as well as plants use various mechanisms to transport virulence factors across their cell membranes and channel these proteins into the infected host cell.
