Nametype VI secretion
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionThe protein secretion system now called type VI has been described by Pukatzki, et al., Mougous. et al. and others. Two components of the system resemble components of type IV secretion systems (T6SS). Many species that carry this system have known pathogenic activity, but T6SS may be directed against other bacteria rather then eukaryotic cells. In addition to protein families for this system identified in various publications, several were identified by the partial phylogenetic programming algorithm (Haft, et al., PMID:16930487), supported by proximity to other type VI secretion genes.
