A proposed chaperone of the bacterial type VI secretion system functions to constrain a self-identity protein

M. A. Zepeda-Rivera, C. C. Saak, K. A. Gibbs

The paper identifies IdsC as a chaperone that stabilizes IdsD clusters and facilitates its export via the T6S system in Proteus mirabilis.

A single point mutation in a TssB/VipA homolog disrupts sheath formation in the type VI secretion system of Proteus mirabilis

C. C. Saak, M. A. Zepeda-Rivera, K. A. Gibbs

The paper identifies a single amino acid mutation in TssB that disrupts sheath formation in the T6S system of Proteus mirabilis, leading to impaired T6S activity.
