VgrG and PAAR Proteins Define Distinct Versions of a Functional Type VI Secretion System.

The Type VI secretion system (T6SS) is widespread among bacterial pathogens and acts as an effective weapon against competitor bacteria and eukaryotic hosts by delivering toxic effector proteins directly into target cells.
