Assembled structure of the type 3 secretion system (modified from Abby and Rocha, 2012). This system is made of an extracellular part for close contact with host cell, and a membrane-associated part containing the core secretion apparatus. The components with bright colors correspond to the most conserved components, and are thus the one searched by sequence similarity to assess the system’s presence in the assembled sequences.
