A family of Type VI secretion system effector proteins that form ion-selective pores
Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) are used by bacteria to inject toxic effector proteins into neighbouring cells. Here, Mariano et al. show that an antibacterial effector from Serratia marcescens forms cation-selective pores that lead to inner-membrane depolarisation and increased outer-membrane per...
