The non-flagellar type III secretion system evolved from the bacterial flagellum and diversified into host-cell adapted systems.
Type 3 secretion systems (T3SSs) are essential components of two complex bacterial machineries: the flagellum, which drives cell motility, and the non-flagellar T3SS (NF-T3SS), which delivers effectors into eukaryotic cells. Yet the origin, specialization, and diversification of these machineries re...
