Abstract excerpt
Bacterial Rhs proteins containing toxic domains are often secreted by type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) through unclear mechanisms. Here, we show that the T6SS Rhs-family effector TseI of Aeromonas dhakensis is subject to self-cleavage at both the N- and the C-terminus, releasing the middle Rhs core and two VgrG-interacting domains (which we name VIRN and VIRC). VIRC is an endonuclease, and the immunity protein...
