VgrG-dependent effectors and chaperones modulate the assembly of the type VI secretion system.

VgrG-dependent effectors and chaperones modulate the assembly of the type VI secretion system.

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a spear-like nanomachine found in gram-negative pathogens for delivery of toxic effectors to neighboring bacterial and host cells. Its assembly requires a tip spike complex consisting of a VgrG-trimer, a PAAR protein, and the interacting effectors. However, how...
