Evolution of antifreeze glycoprotein gene from a trypsinogen gene in Antarctic notothenioid fish.

abstract：:Type VI protein secretion system (T6SS) is important for bacterial competition through contact-dependent killing of competitors. T6SS delivers effectors to neighboring cells and corresponding antagonistic proteins confer immunity against effectors that are delivered by sister cells. Although T6SS has been found in mor...
