Abstract excerpt
Bacterial proline-alanine-alanine-arginine (PAAR) proteins are located at the top of the type VI secretion system (T6SS) nanomachine and carry and deliver effectors into neighboring cells. Many PAAR proteins are fused with a variable C-terminal extended domain (CTD). Here, we report that two paar-ctd genes (MXAN_RS08765 and MXAN_RS36995) located in two homologous operons are involved in different ecological...
