Origin: Pseudomonas putida KT2440, genome

Properties: Anti-bacterial effector in type VI secretion system

Usage and Biology

BBa_K4028002 is a coding sequence of tke2 from Pseudomonas putida KT2440. Tke2, known as a toxic Rhs-type effector, is an effect factor in type VI secretion system (T6SS).

A wide range of Gram-negative bacteria have been shown to have antibacterial T6SSs, including opportunistic pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa,[4] obligate commensal species that inhabit the human gut (Bacteroides spp.),[5] and plant-associated bacteria such as Agrobacterium tumefaciens.[6] Under natural conditions, bacterial cells encoding T6SS transport effect factors with cytotoxic or antibacterial effects (amidase, glycoside hydrolyase, lipase, etc.) to recipient cells through physical contact, thus inhibiting the growth of recipient cells. The bacteria encoding T6SS can translate and produce corresponding immune proteins to counteract the damage caused by toxic effector factors.[1,2,3]
