| Description | Type VI secretion system (T6SS) appears to be confined to Proteobacteria. It is important for bacterial pathogenesis, but it is also found in non-pathogenic bacteria, suggesting that T6SS involvement is not limited to virulence [ ]. T6SS was identified in Vibrio cholerae [] and Pseudomonas aeruginosa [], and exports Hcp (Haemolysin-Coregulated Protein) and a class of proteins named Vgr (Val-Gly Repeats). In addition to Vgr and Hcp proteins, T6SS is characterised by the presence of an AAA+ Clp-like ATPase and of two additional genes icmF and dotU, encoding homologues of T4SS stabilising proteins []. This entry represent the Vgr family of proteins, associated with some classes of Rhs elements (Rhs classes G and E). Rsh (rearrangement hot-spot) elements are repetitious sequences identified in certain Escherichia coli strains [ , ]. |
