Aeromonas adhesins facilitate kin and non-kin attachment to enable T6SS-mediated antagonism in liquid

Chaya Mushka Fridman, Hadar Cohen, Kinga Keppel, Alejandro Tejada-Arranz, Marek Basler, Motti Gerlic, Dor Salomon

This study shows marine bacteria use T6SS to compete in liquid by aggregating via adhesins, challenging the assumption that T6SS activity is limited to solid surfaces.

WHIX is a T6SS secretion domain found in polymorphic double-edged sword effectors

Chaya Mushka Fridman, Kinga Keppel, Vladislav Rudenko, Jon Altuna-Alvarez, David Albesa-Jové, Eran Bosis, Dor Salomon

The paper identifies WHIX as a T6SS secretion domain that enables the delivery of effectors with one or two toxic domains, requiring specific immunity proteins to counteract their toxicity.
