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

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]
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]
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
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
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
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.
