| Description | Members of this family are found typically in type VI secretion system (T6SS) regions of Burkholderia, Paraburkholderia, Acinetobacter, and related lineages, and may be effector proteins. The family is provisionally named ExIF after a motif well conserved across most family members.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 | Type VI secretion system effector ExIF-like |
