In silico identification of potential chaperone genes that belong to type III and type IV secretion systems in Xanthomonas axonopodis pv citri

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2005
The secretion of bacterial virulence factors and flagellar components requires the assistance of specific type III and flagellar chaperones. Standard computational annotation of the genome of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv citri, a plant pathogen that causes ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa pilin activates the inflammasome [PDF]

, 2011
IL-1 beta is produced from inactive pro-IL-1 beta by activation of caspase-1 brought about by a multi-subunit protein platform called the inflammasome. Many bacteria can trigger inflammasome activity through flagellin activation of the host protein NLRC4.

The Pseudomonas syringae avrRpt2 Gene Contributes to Virulence on Tomato

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2005
In order to cause disease on plants, gram-negative phytopathogenic bacteria introduce numerous virulence factors into the host cell in order to render host tissue more hospitable for pathogen proliferation.

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

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.

Substrate-engaged type III secretion system structures reveal gating mechanism for unfolded protein translocation

bioRxiv, 2020
Many bacterial pathogens rely on virulent type III secretion systems (T3SSs) or injectisomes to translocate effector proteins in order to establish infection.

Electron Cryotomography of Bacterial Secretion Systems [PDF]

, 2019
In biology, function arises from form. For bacterial secretion systems, which often span two membranes, avidly bind to the cell wall, and contain hundreds of individual proteins, studying form is a daunting task, made possible by electron cryotomography (

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 multivalent adhesion molecule SSO1327 plays a key role in Shigella sonnei pathogenesis : SSO1327 is an adhesin required for S. sonnei pathogenesis [PDF]

, 2015
Shigella sonnei is a bacterial pathogen and causative agent of bacillary dysentery. It deploys a type III secretion system to inject effector proteins into host epithelial cells and macrophages, an essential step for tissue invasion and immune evasion ...
