Antibacterial potency of type VI amidase effector toxins is dependent on substrate topology and cellular context

Antibacterial potency of type VI amidase effector toxins is dependent on substrate topology and cellular context

Members of the bacterial T6SS amidase effector (Tae) superfamily of toxins are delivered between competing bacteria to degrade cell wall peptidoglycan. Although Taes share a common substrate, they exhibit distinct antimicrobial potency across different competitor species. To investigate the molecula...
