Protein translocation by T6SS. “Specialized” VgrGs effectors are associated with Hcp-VgrG-PAAR complex. The T6SS contraction projects the Hcp tube through the membrane, delivering the effectors into the cytosol of the target cell. Finally, the “cargo” effectors are translocated into the cytosol by the Hcp tube and the spike.
