Abstract: Contractile injection systems (CISs) mediate cell-cell interactions by a phage tail-like apparatus. Their conserved mechanism relies on the anchoring of the proximal end of a sheath-tube module to a membrane, followed by contraction of the… read more here.

Abstract: The arms race among microorganisms is a key driver in the evolution of not only the weapons but also defence mechanisms. Many Gram-negative bacteria use the type six secretion system (T6SS) to deliver toxic effectors… read more here.
