Function and firing of the Streptomyces coelicolor contractile injection system requires the membrane protein CisA
{{output}}
Bacterial contractile injection systems (CIS) are phage tail-like macromolecular complexes that mediate cell-cell interactions by injecting effector proteins into target cells. CIS from Streptomyces coelicolor (CISSc) are localized in the cytoplasm. Under stre... ...
