Type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are multiprotein complexes that transport effector proteins and protein–DNA complexes through bacterial membranes ... Figure 4: X-Tfe XAC2609 secretion requires ...

revealed that the type IV secretion system differs substantially from other bacterial secretion systems, in both its molecular structure and the mechanism for secretion. Professor Waksman said ...

Scientists have discovered a gruesome microbial survival strategy: when food is scarce, some bacteria kill and consume their neighbors.

pCF10 type 4 secretion system relies on a self-regulating muramidase to modulate the cell wall” in mBIO that describes how an enzyme breaks down the bacteria’s protective layer (cell wall ...

Toxin secretion mechanisms have been described in almost all major bacterial pathogens, but there has been one notable exception — Mtb. The five type VII secretion systems ... infected with Mtb ...

These bacteria can also spread the resistance further via the type 4 secretion systems, T4SS. It is a kind of protein complex that acts as a copying device, allowing properties in the form of genetic ...
