Welcome to T6Enc
Introduction
Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria harness type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) to both interact with eukaryotic cells and compete with non-self bacteria. T6Enc is a database to comprehensively curate the T6SSs, including their distribution and evolution, effectors and immunity proteins, regulation and other aspects.
The current version of T6Enc (20190809.v1) annotated 1,686 T6SSs from 1,040 strains among 683 species across 380 genera of 7 phyla. With a homology searching strategy, we also identified and curated 1,294 T6SS effectors and 298 immunity-related proteins from the T6SS+ strains.
