Agrobacterium tumefaciens Type IV and Type VI Secretion Systems Reside in Detergent-Resistant Membranes [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Cell membranes are not homogenous but compartmentalized into lateral microdomains, which are considered as biochemical reaction centers for various physiological processes in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Due to their special lipid and protein composition,

Quorum Sensing Controls the CRISPR and Type VI Secretion Systems in Aliivibrio wodanis 06/09/139 [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
For bacteria to thrive in an environment with competitors, phages and environmental cues, they use different strategies, including Type VI Secretion Systems (T6SSs) and Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) to compete for ...

Type VI Secretion Systems Present New Insights on Pathogenic Yersinia [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a versatile secretion system widely distributed in Gram-negative bacteria that delivers multiple effector proteins into either prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells, or into the extracellular milieu.

The Roles of Two Type VI Secretion Systems in Cronobacter sakazakii ATCC 12868 [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The type VI secretion system (T6SS), which has been found in 25% of gram-negative bacteria, is a crucial virulence factor in several pathogens. Although T6SS gene loci have been discovered in Cronobacter species, one of the major opportunistic foodborne ...
