Resumen de Adaptor Proteins of Type VI Secretion System Effectors

Daniel Unterweger, Benjamin Kostiuk, Stefan Pukatzki

• Bacteria use the type VI secretion system (T6SS) to kill neighboring cells. One key feature of the T6SS is the secretion of diverse effectors. Here, we discuss six publications that describe three superfamilies of T6SS proteins, each dedicated to mediate the secretion of cognate effectors.
