Abstract
The bacterial Type VI secretion system (T6SS) delivers proteins into target cells using fast contraction of a long sheath anchored to the cell envelope. Here, Vettigeret al. study sheath dynamics in Vibrio choleraespheroplasts, and show that the sheath assembles by addition of subunits at the distal end.
