      eLife Assessment

      This valuable study describes how a single effector of the Type Six Secretion System (T6SS) has two distinct enzymatic functions that together may contribute to bacterial survival and dynamics in a community and provide potential for developing new antimicrobial compounds. The authors have deployed a range of methods in biochemistry, microbiology, and microscopy, generating solid data that support the main assertions. While the manuscript could benefit from additional clarifying experiments and a more detailed discussion of the methods, it will appeal to those studying T6SS, particularly those interested in effectors and bacterial enzymes.
