Rapidly evolving orphan immunity genes protect human gut bacteria from intoxication by the type VI secretion system

2025-05-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Bacteria encode diverse mechanisms for mediating interbacterial antagonism through the exchange of toxic effector proteins. Although the structure, function, and regulation of these pathways has been well established for many organisms, an understanding of their ecological and evolutionary dynamics lags behind. Type VI secretion systems (T6SS) deliver effectors between competing Gram-negative ba...
