A widespread accessory protein family diversifies the effector repertoire of the type VI secretion system spike

Abstract Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) are macromolecular assemblies that deliver toxic effector proteins between adjacent bacteria. These effectors span a wide range of protein families that all lack canonical signal sequences that would target them for export. Consequently, it remains incomple...
