Delivery of an Rhs‐family nuclease effector reveals direct penetration of the gram‐positive cell envelope by a type VI secretion system in Acidovorax citrulli

Delivery of an Rhs‐family nuclease effector reveals direct penetration of the gram‐positive cell envelope by a type VI secretion system in Acidovorax citrulli

Abstract The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a double‐tubular nanomachine widely found in gram‐negative bacteria. Its spear‐like Hcp tube is capable of penetrating a neighboring cell for cytosol‐to‐cytosol protein delivery. However, gram‐positive bacteria have been considered impenetrable to such...
