Bacterial Phage Tail-like Structure Kills Eukaryotic Cells by Injecting a Nuclease Effector

I. Rocchi, C. Ericson, K. E. Malter, S. Zargar, F. Eisenstein, M. Pilhofer, S. Beyhan, N. J. Shikuma

This study identifies Pne1, a nuclease effector delivered by bacterial CIS MACs, which kills eukaryotic cells by injecting it into target cells.
