摘要: Xanthomonads are bacterial plant pathogens that cause diseases on many species, including important crops. Key to pathogenicity of most Xanthomonas pathovars is a Hrp-type III secretion (T3S) system translocates effector proteins into cells. Within the eukaryotic cell, effectors thought perform variety tasks support virulence, proliferation, and dissemination. We only beginning understand host targets different effectors. The largest family found in spp. AvrBs3/PthA or TAL (transcription activator-like) family. act as transcriptional activators cell nucleus. Specificity determined by novel modular DNA-binding domain. Here, we describe discovery their structure, activity, targets.
