Abstract
The type IV secretion system found in the phytopathogen Xanthomonas citri (X-T4SS) functions as a powerful nanomachine that plays a crucial role in bacterial competition, primarily mediating the secretion of toxins into other cells. The nuclease X-TfeXAC3266, predicted to act in the cytosol of the target cell, has a theoretical molecular mass of 92.5 kDa and contains AHH and XVIPCD protei…
