Gene Feature Overview

Strain Burkholderia thailandensis E264 ATCC 700388
GCF_000012365.1|latest
Locus Tag
BTH_II0863
NCBI Locus TagBTH_RS04480
Name
vgrG-5
Replicon chromosome II
Genomic location 1009425 - 1012463 (- strand)
Transposon Mutants 3 transposon mutants in E264 ATCC 700388
CommentThis gene is part of cluster known as the type VI secretion system gene cluster tss-5 based on naming convention used for B. pseudomallei described in PMID:17660433, however unlike B. pseudomallei, the numbers following the vgrG and hcp gene match the cluster number (PMID:20865170). While other T6SSs were dispensible, T6SS-5 is required for virulence in a murine acute melioidosis model (PMID:20865170).
