Genome-wide Identification and Characterization of a Superfamily of Bacterial Extracellular Contractile Injection Systems

Summary: Several phage-tail-like nanomachines were shown to play an important role in the interactions between bacteria and their eukaryotic hosts. These apparatuses appear to represent a new injection paradigm. Here, with three verified extracellular contractile injection systems (eCISs), a protein...
