The Vibrio type VI secretion system induces intestinal macrophage redistribution and enhanced intestinal motility by Julia S. Ngo, Piyush Amitabh, Jonah G. Sokoloff, Calvin Trinh, Travis J. Wiles, Karen Guillemin, Raghuveer Parthasarathy

“…The underlying mechanism has remained unknown, but the phenomenon requires the actin crosslinking domain (ACD) of Vibrio’s type VI secretion system (T6SS), a multicomponent protein syringe that pierces adjacent cells and delivers toxins. By using a zebrafish-native Vibrio and imaging-based assays of host intestinal mechanics and immune responses, we find evidence that macrophages mediate the connection between the T6SS ACD and intestinal activity. …”
