Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Part of the H1 type VI secretion system (H1-T6SS) specialized secretion system, which delivers several virulence factors in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells during infection (PubMed:21325275, PubMed:24794869). Forms the spike at the tip of the elongating tube formed by haemolysin co-regulated protein 1/Hcp1 (PubMed:26894531). Allows the delivery of the Tse6 toxin to target cells where it exerts its toxicity (PubMed:30177742).
