Abstract
The bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) delivers effector proteins into prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells to enhance the survival of the donor cell. Wood et al. describe an antibacterial T6SS toxin family eliciting a profound cell division defect and lysis. The structure of this periplasmic-acting toxin reveals a metallopeptidase fold.
