The modeled structure of of wild type extended type VI secretion system sheath/tube complex in vibrio cholerae based on cryo-EM reconstruction of the non-contractile sheath/tube complex

HCP is a family of proteins which are expressed in up to 1000 copies in Gram-negative bacteria. Together these copies aggregate into a needle-like shaft or tube that will penetrate other bacteria via a puncturing protein attached to its head [1]. Initially Hcp forms a hexameric structure with a central channel of 40 Angstroms. These hexamers pile up one on top of each other forming nanotubes resembling the gp19 tail phage tube [2].
EvpB is a family of Gram-negative probable type VI secretion system components of the tail sheath. They have been known as COG:COG3517. These sheath-components, of which there are many copies in the sheath, are also variously referred to as VipA/VipB ...
EvpB is a family of Gram-negative probable type VI secretion system components of the tail sheath. They have been known as COG:COG3517. These sheath-components, of which there are many copies in the sheath, are also variously referred to as VipA/VipB and TssB/TssC. On contact with another bacterial cell the sheath contracts and pushes the puncturing device and tube through the cell envelope and punches the target bacterial cell [1].
