Rhizobial Exopolysaccharides and Type VI Secretion Systems: A Promising Way to Improve Nitrogen Acquisition by Legumes

open access: yesFrontiers in Agronomy, 2021
At present, there are numerous examples in which symbiotic nitrogen fixation by rhizobia can totally replace the use of nitrogen fertilizers in legume crops.

Comparative Analyses of Four Complete Genomes in Revealed Differential Adaptation to Hostile Environments and Secretion Systems [PDF]

open access: yesThe Plant Pathology Journal, 2022
Pseudomonas amygdali is a hemibiotrophic phytopathogen that causes disease in woody and herbaceous plants. Complete genomes of four P. amygdali pathovars were comparatively analyzed to decipher the impact of genomic diversity on host colonization.

Structure and Regulation of the Type VI Secretion System [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Microbiology, 2012
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a complex and widespread gram-negative bacterial export pathway with the capacity to translocate protein effectors into a diversity of target cell types. Current structural models of the T6SS indicate that the apparatus is composed of at least two complexes, a dynamic bacteriophage-like structure and a cell ...

Vibrio cholerae secretion system of the type VI

open access: yesProblems of Particularly Dangerous Infections, 2022
The review summarizes literature data on the Vibrio cholerae secretion system of the 6th type. This system is a contact-dependent macromolecular mechanism through which bacteria translocate toxic effector proteins into target cells. It is found in many Gram-negative bacteria, including Vibrio cholerae. V. cholerae infects phagocytic amoebae, nematodes,

Type II Secretion Is Essential for Virulence of the Emerging Fish Pathogen, Hypervirulent Aeromonas hydrophila

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Hypervirulent Aeromonas hydrophila (vAh) is an emerging pathogen in freshwater aquaculture systems. In the U.S.A., outbreaks of motile aeromonad septicemia associated with vAh result in the loss of over 3 million pounds of channel catfish from ...

Structural basis for type VI secretion effector recognition by a cognate immunity protein. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2012
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) has emerged as an important mediator of interbacterial interactions. A T6SS from Pseudomonas aeruginosa targets at least three effector proteins, type VI secretion exported 1-3 (Tse1-3), to recipient Gram-negative ...

Type VI Secretion System: A Modular Toolkit for Bacterial Dominance [PDF]

open access: yesFuture Microbiology, 2019
Bacteria use toxin delivery systems, such as the type VI secretion system (T6SS), to antagonize competitors. The T6SS transports toxins, called effectors, directly into recipient cells. In the absence of cognate immunity proteins that protect against kin-intoxication, these effectors target conserved and essential cell components resulting in growth ...

Bacterial secretion systems contribute to rapid tissue decay in button mushroom soft rot disease

open access: yesmBio, 2023
The soft rot pathogen Janthinobacterium agaricidamnosum causes devastating damage to button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus), one of the most cultivated and commercially relevant mushrooms.

Bidirectional contraction of a type six secretion system

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Bacteria use contractile injection systems, such as type VI secretion systems (T6SS), to secrete proteins that mediate cell-cell interactions. Here, Szwedziak & Pilhofer show that both ends of a T6SS can attach to opposite sides of the cell, enabling the

Collective protection against the type VI secretion system in bacteria

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2022
Abstract Bacteria commonly face attacks from other strains using the type VI secretion system (T6SS), which acts like a molecular speargun to stab and intoxicate competitors. Here we show how bacteria can work together to collectively defend themselves against these attacks.
