Function
VGR1A_PSEAE Part of the H1 type VI secretion system (H1-T6SS) specialized secretion system, which delivers several virulence factors in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells during infection (PubMed:21325275, PubMed:24794869). Forms the spike at the tip of the elongating tube formed by haemolysin co-regulated protein 1/Hcp1 (PubMed:26894531). Allows the delivery of the Tse6 toxin to target cells where it exerts its toxicity (PubMed:30177742).[1] [2] [3] [4]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
When 300 kV cryo-EM images at Scherzer focus are acquired from approximately 100 nm thick three-dimensional protein nanocrystals using a Falcon 2 direct electron detector, Fourier transformation can reveal the crystalline lattice to surprisingly high resolutions, even though the images themselves seem to be devoid of any contrast. Here, it is reported how this lattice information can be enhanced by means of a wave finder in combination with Wiener-type maximum-likelihood filtering. This procedure paves the way towards full three-dimensional structure determination at high resolution for protein crystals.
