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 ...

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

Frontiers 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.

Structure of a bacterial type IV secretion core complex at subnanometre resolution [PDF]

, 2013
Type IV secretion (T4S) systems are able to transport DNAs and/or proteins through the membranes of bacteria. They form large multiprotein complexes consisting of 12 proteins termed VirB1-11 and VirD4.

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.

Structure of a translocation signal domain mediating conjugative transfer by Type IV secretion systems [PDF]

, 2013
Relaxases are proteins responsible for the transfer of plasmid and chromosomal DNA from one bacterium to another during conjugation. They covalently react with a specific phosphodiester bond within DNA origin of transfer sequences, forming a nucleo ...

A View to a Kill: The Bacterial Type VI Secretion System [PDF]

Cell Host & Microbe, 2014
The bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) is an organelle that is structurally and mechanistically analogous to an intracellular membrane-attached contractile phage tail. Recent studies determined that a rapid conformational change in the structure of a sheath protein complex propels T6SS spike and tube components along with antibacterial and ...

Vibrio cholerae secretion system of the type VI

Problems 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,

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

PLoS 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]

Future 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 ...
