Lipidation of Class IV CdiA Effector Proteins Promotes Target Cell Recognition during Contact-Dependent Growth Inhibition

Contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) is a common form of interbacterial competition in which cells use CdiA effectors to deliver toxic proteins into their neighbors. CdiA recognizes target bacteria through specific receptor molecules on the cell surface.
