Molecular Determinants Required for the Avirulence Function of AvrPphB in Bean and Other Plants

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2002
The avirulence gene avrPphB from Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola determines incompatibility, manifested as a hypersensitive reaction (HR), on bean cultivars carrying the R3 resistance gene and also confers avirulence on other plants.

Inside the Chamber of Secrets of the Type III Secretion System [PDF]

Cell, 2017
The bacterial type III secretion system is a specialized machine that injects effectors into eukaryotic cells to manipulate the host cell physiology. In this issue of Cell, Hu et al. use cryo-electron tomography to reveal an unprecedented level of details regarding the architecture of this machine and the conformational changes that occur during its ...

Structure and Biophysics of Type III Secretion in Bacteria [PDF]

Biochemistry, 2013
Many plant and animal bacterial pathogens assemble a needle-like nanomachine, the type III secretion system (T3SS), to inject virulence proteins directly into eukaryotic cells to initiate infection. The ability of bacteria to inject effectors into host cells is essential for infection, survival, and pathogenesis for many Gram-negative bacteria ...

Type III Secretion Effectors with Arginine N-Glycosyltransferase Activity

Microorganisms, 2020
Type III secretion systems are used by many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens to inject proteins, known as effectors, into the cytosol of host cells. These virulence factors interfere with a diverse array of host signal transduction pathways and cellular

Challenges and opportunities in type III secretion system effector predictionChallenges and opportunities in type III secretion system effector prediction [PDF]

Open Biology
Type III secretion system effectors (T3SEs) are small bacterial proteins with big biological roles. They act as central molecular mediators of interactions between Gram-negative bacteria and eukaryotic hosts, spanning pathogenic, symbiotic and ...

CesL Regulates Type III Secretion Substrate Specificity of the Enteropathogenic E. coli Injectisome

Microorganisms, 2021
The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a complex molecular device used by several pathogenic bacteria to translocate effector proteins directly into eukaryotic host cells. One remarkable feature of the T3SS is its ability to secrete different categories

Adaptivity and dynamics in type III secretion systems [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2020
AbstractThe type III secretion system is the common core of two bacterial molecular machines: the flagellum and the injectisome. The flagellum is the most widely distributed prokaryotic locomotion device, whereas the injectisome is a syringe‐like apparatus for inter‐kingdom protein translocation, which is essential for virulence in important human ...

The Erwinia amylovora avrRpt2EA Gene Contributes to Virulence on Pear and AvrRpt2EA Is Recognized by Arabidopsis RPS2 When Expressed in Pseudomonas syringae

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2006
The enterobacterium Erwinia amylovora is a devastating plant pathogen causing necrotrophic fire blight disease of apple, pear, and other rosaceous plants. In an attempt to identify genes induced during infection of host plants, we identified and cloned a

The Type III Accessory Protein HrpE of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae Surpasses the Secretion Role, and Enhances Plant Resistance and Photosynthesis

Microorganisms, 2019
Many species of plant-pathogenic gram-negative bacteria deploy the type III (T3) secretion system to secrete virulence components, which are mostly characteristic of protein effectors targeting the cytosol of the plant cell following secretion ...

Bordetella Type III Secretion Injectosome and Effector Proteins

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a resurging acute respiratory disease of humans primarily caused by the Gram-negative coccobacilli Bordetella pertussis, and less commonly by the human-adapted lineage of B. parapertussisHU.
