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,

Functional regulation and cross-talk of type III and type VI secretion systems in Salmonella [PDF]

Virulence
In Salmonella, the type III and type VI secretion systems (T3SS and T6SS) play critical roles in pathogenicity. The bacterium harbors two distinct T3SSs: T3SS-1, encoded by SPI-1, promotes host cell invasion, whereas T3SS-2 (located within SPI-2 ...

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.
