Redundancy and specificity of type VI secretion <i>vgrG</i> loci in antibacterial activity of <i>Agrobacterium tumefaciens</i> 1D1609 strain
2019-08-19
Abstract excerpt
Type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a contractile nanoweapon employed by many Proteobacteria to deliver effectors to kill or inhibit their competitors. One T6SS gene, vgrG , encodes a spike protein for effector translocation and is often present as multiple copies in bacterial genomes. Our phylogenomic analyses sampled 48 genomes across diverse Proteobacteria lineages and found ∼70% of them encode multiple VgrGs,...
