| Description | This entry represents toxinVasX ( ) and related proteins that are found in proteobacteria. VasX is secreted by the type VI (T6SS) secretion system that acts on prokaryotic target cells. This toxin acts in conjunction with VasW, an accessory protein to VasX, to compromise the inner membrane of prokaryotic target cells [ ].Type VI protein secretion system (T6SS) is important for bacterial competition through contact-dependent killing of competitors. T6SS delivers effectors to neighboring cells and corresponding antagonistic proteins confer immunity against effectors that are delivered by sister cells. T6SS assembles as a molecular syringe that injects toxic protein effectors into cells [ ]. | Name | Toxin VasX |
| Short Name | Toxin_VasX | Type | Family |
