A type VI secretion system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa targets a toxin to bacteria.
The functional spectrum of a secretion system is defined by its substrates. Here we analyzed the secretomes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutants altered in regulation of the Hcp Secretion Island-I-encoded type VI secretion system (H1-T6SS). We identified three substrates of this system, proteins Tse1-3 (type six exported 1-3), which are coregulated with the secretory apparatus and secreted under t...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium found in natural environments including plants, soils and warm moist surfaces. This organism is also in the top ten of nosocomial pathogens, and prevalent in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung infections. The ability of P. aeruginosa to colonize a wide variety of environments in a lasting manner is associated with the formation of a resistant biofilm a...

Bacteria employ a variety of tools to survive in a competitive environment. Salomon and Orth describe one such tool-the Type 6 Secretion Systems used by bacteria to deliver a variety of toxins into competing cells.
متن کاملRsmA and AmrZ orchestrate the assembly of all three type VI secretion systems in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a weapon of bacterial warfare and host cell subversion. The Gram-negative pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa has three T6SSs involved in colonization, competition, and full virulence. H1-T6SS is a molecular gun firing seven toxins, Tse1-Tse7, challenging survival of other bacteria and helping P. aeruginosa to prevail in specific niches. The H1-T6SS characteri...
متن کاملTagR promotes PpkA-catalysed type VI secretion activation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) contribute to interactions of bacterial pathogens and symbionts with their hosts. Previously, we showed that Pseudomonas aeruginosa T6S is posttranslationally activated upon phosphorylation of Fha1, an FHA domain protein, by PpkA, a membrane-spanning threonine kinase. Herein, additional structural, enzymatic and genetic requirements for PpkA-catalysed T6SS acti...
