Abstract excerpt
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) with diversified functions is widely distributed in pathogenic Proteobacteria. The IcmF (intracellular multiplication protein F) family protein TssM is a conserved T6SS inner membrane protein. Despite the conservation of its Walker A nucleotide-binding motif, the NTPase activity of TssM and its role in T6SS remain obscure. In this study, we characterized TssM in the plant...
