The life of bacteria is challenging, to endure bacteria employ a range of mechanisms to
optimize their environment, including deploying the type VI secretion system (T6SS). Acting …

Equipped with a plethora of secreted toxic effectors, protein secretion systems are essential
for bacteria to interact with and manipulate their neighboring environment to survive in host …

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is an important mediator of microbe–microbe and
microbe–host interactions. Gram-negative bacteria use the T6SS to inject T6SS effectors …

Protein toxins secreted by prokaryotes have been found to affect the pathogenicity of
pathogens or directly mediate antagonistic interactions between prokaryotes. PAAR proteins …

Bacteria use the type VI secretion system (T6SS) to secrete toxins into pro-and eukaryotic
cells via machinery consisting of a contractile sheath and a rigid tube. Rearrangement …

Antimicrobial toxins help prokaryotes win competitive advantages in intraspecific or
interspecific conflicts and are also a critical factor affecting the pathogenicity of many …

Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) deliver effectors into target cells. Besides structural and
effector proteins, many other proteins, such as adaptors, co-effectors and accessory …

Burkholderia glumae are bacteria pathogenic to rice plants that cause a disease called
bacterial panicle blight (BPB) in rice panicles. BPB, induced by B. glumae, causes enormous …

Soil-borne Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) bacteria disrupt rhizosphere
and endophytic microbial communities as they invade roots and fatally wilt plants. RSSC …

Type VI secretion systems (T6SS) are common bacterial contractile injection systems that
inject toxic “effector” proteins into neighboring cells. Effector discovery is generally done …
