Tae4 is a new form of toxin-antitoxin system protein for a type VI secretion system, T6SS. T6SS has roles in interspecies interactions, as well as higher order host-infection, by injecting effector proteins into the periplasmic compartment of the recipient cells of closely related species. Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces at least three effector proteins to other cells and thus has three specific cognate immunity proteins to protect itself. Tae4, or type VI amidase effector 4, in Enterobacter cloacae has a cognate Tai4 or type VI amidase immunity 4 protein [1]. The immunity protein is Tai4, Pfam:PF16695.

The structures of the immunity proteins, Rap1a , responsible for the inhibition and neutralization of Ssp1 endopeptidase, revealed two distinct folds. The structure of the Ssp1-Rap1a complex revealed a tightly bound heteromeric assembly with two effector molecules flanking a Rap1a dimer. The Rap1a subunit displays a compact globular structure constructed from five alpha-helices that assemble to form the highly stable symmetric dimer [1].
