A family of contact-dependent nuclease effectors contain an exchangeable, species-identifying domain

2020-02-20

Abstract excerpt

In mixed-species communities, bacteria can deploy contact-dependent effectors to compete with other organisms, often directly injecting these proteins into neighboring cells. One current hypothesis is that the entire protein contains information specific for a single species; emergence of new effectors comes from acquiring genes. Here we have characterized a family of DNA-degrading effectors that are nucleases whi...
