Protein Family Models

EvpB is a family of Gram-negative probable type VI secretion system components of the tail sheath. They have been known as COG:COG3517. These sheath-components, of which there are many copies in the sheath, are also variously referred to as VipA/VipB and TssB/TssC. On contact with another bacterial cell the sheath contracts and pushes the puncturing device and tube through the cell envelope and punches the target bacterial cell [1]. This entry represents the gpW/gp25-like domain. [1]. 24381728. The rise of the Type VI secretion system. Filloux A;. F1000Prime Rep. 2013;5:52. (from Pfam)

Work by Mougous, et al. (2006), describes IAHP-related loci as a type VI secretion system (PMID:16763151). This protein family is associated with type VI secretion loci, although not treated explicitly by Mougous, et al.
