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.

CagI is an essential component of the Helicobacter pylori Cag type IV secretion system and forms a complex with CagL. [PDF]

, 2012
Helicobacter pylori, the causative agent of type B gastritis, peptic ulcers, gastric adenocarcinoma and MALT lymphoma, uses the Cag type IV secretion system to induce a strong proinflammatory response in the gastric mucosa and to inject its effector ...

Expression of Francisella pathogenicity island protein intracellular growth locus E (IglE) in mammalian cells is involved in intracellular trafficking, possibly through microtubule organizing center

MicrobiologyOpen, 2019
Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of the infectious disease tularemia and is designated a category A bioterrorism agent. The type VI secretion system encoded by the Francisella pathogenicity island (FPI) is necessary for intracellular growth;

Comparative genomic analysis of multiple strains of two unusual plant pathogens: Pseudomonas corrugata and Pseudomonas mediterranea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The non-fluorescent pseudomonads, Pseudomonas corrugata (Pcor) and P. mediterranea (Pmed), are closely related species that cause pith necrosis, a disease of tomato that causes severe crop losses.

The type VI secretion system of the emerging pathogen Stenotrophomonas maltophilia complex has antibacterial properties

mSphere, 2023
Antagonistic behaviors between bacterial cells can have profound effects on microbial populations and disease outcomes. Polymicrobial interactions may be mediated by contact-dependent proteins with antibacterial properties.

Acinetobacter type VI secretion system comprises a non-canonical membrane complex.

PLoS Pathogens, 2023
A. baumannii can rapidly acquire new resistance mechanisms and persist on abiotic surface, enabling the colonization of asymptomatic human host. In Acinetobacter the type VI secretion system (T6SS) is involved in twitching, surface motility and is used ...

Type VI Secretion System Helps Find a Niche [PDF]

Cell Host & Microbe, 2014
Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) deliver toxins into target cells and thus play a role in bacterial warfare. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Ma et al. (2014) demonstrate that T6SS-dependent attack during interbacterial competition in the host context enables niche colonization by Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

A Transcriptional Regulatory Mechanism Finely Tunes the Firing of Type VI Secretion System in Response to Bacterial Enemies

mBio, 2017
The ability to detect and measure danger from an environmental signal is paramount for bacteria to respond accordingly, deploying strategies that halt or counteract potential cellular injury and maximize survival chances. Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs)

Heterogeneity in ess transcriptional organization and variable contribution of the Ess/Type VII protein secretion system to virulence across closely related Staphylocccus aureus strains [PDF]

, 2014
The Type VII protein secretion system, found in Gram-positive bacteria, secretes small proteins, containing a conserved W-x-G amino acid sequence motif, to the growth medium.

VgrG2 of type VI secretion system 2 of Vibrio parahaemolyticus induces autophagy in macrophages

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a macromolecular transenvelope machine encoded within the genomes of several proteobacteria species. Vibrio parahaemolyticus contains two putative T6SS systems, VpT6SS1 and VpT6SS2, both contributing to adherence to ...
