CdiA Effectors Use Modular Receptor-Binding Domains To Recognize Target Bacteria

CdiA Effectors Use Modular Receptor-Binding Domains To Recognize Target Bacteria

Contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) systems encode CdiA effectors, which bind to specific receptors on neighboring bacteria and deliver C-terminal toxin domains to suppress target cell growth. Two classes of CdiA effectors that bind distinct cell surface receptors have been identified, but the...
