Bidirectional contraction of a type six secretion system

Bacteria use contractile injection systems, such as type VI secretion systems (T6SS), to secrete proteins that mediate cell-cell interactions. Here, Szwedziak & Pilhofer show that both ends of a T6SS can attach to opposite sides of the cell, enabling the structure to contract in two opposite dir...
