Francisella tularensis IglG Belongs to a Novel Family of PAAR-Like T6SS Proteins and Harbors a Unique N-terminal Extension Required for Virulence

Fig 11

Putative model for the Francisella T6SS.

The model was adapted from [13]. The Francisella T6SS is presented in the contraction phase. While the interaction of IglF and IglG was demonstrated in this study, the function and the localization of IglF within the T6SS remain to be determined. While the current knowledge on VgrG and PAAR proteins suggests that the two Francisella homologues may be located at the tip of the T6SS, this remains to be demonstrated.
