Abstract excerpt
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a novel secretion system found in many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, which appears to be tightly regulated by different regulatory mechanisms. In the present study, we identified 4 T6SS clusters in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and demonstrated that they were differentially thermoregulated. Among them, T6SS4 was preferentially expressed at 26°C, and its expression was...
