Engineering the bacterial nutrition strategy to control plant diseases
This commentary on Wang et al. (2025) and Phan et al. (2025) highlights previously undiscovered Xanthomonas pathways for nutrition acquisition, explains how Xanthomonas bacteria hijack host molecular machinery through their effector proteins, and discusses how these studies can be used to develop new disease resistance mechanisms.

Abstract Although seed represents an important means of plant pathogen dispersion, the seed–pathogen dialogue remains largely unexplored. A multiomic approach was performed at different seed developmental stages of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) during asymptomatic colonization by Xanthomonas citri pv.

Functions of the Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI-2) type III secretion system effectors.
Salmonella enterica serovars cause severe disease in humans, such as gastroenteritis and typhoid fever. The bacteria are able to invade and replicate within host cells, including epithelial cells and macrophages. Pathogenesis of Salmonella is facilitated

Insights Into the Role of Lysine Acetylation of Non‐Histone Proteins in Plant Immunity
ABSTRACT Plant immunity is regulated by numerous transcriptional and posttranslational mechanisms. Among these, lysine acetylation, which is controlled by lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) and lysine deacetylases (KDACs), has been extensively studied, particularly in the context of epigenetic regulation through histone acetylation.

Differential regulation of Shigella Spa47 ATPase activity by a native C-terminal product of Spa33
Shigella is a Gram-negative bacterial pathogen that relies on a single type three secretion system (T3SS) as its primary virulence factor. The T3SS includes a highly conserved needle-like apparatus that directly injects bacterial effector proteins into ...

Steps for Shigella Gatekeeper MxiC Function in Hierarchical Type III Secretion Regulation [PDF]
Type III secretion systems are complex nanomachines used for injection of proteins from Gram-negative bacteria into eukaryotic cells. Although they are assembled when the environmental conditions are appropriate, they only start secreting upon contact ...

Characterization of the Mesorhizobium loti MAFF303099 Type-Three Protein Secretion System
Type III secretion systems (T3SS) have been found in several species of rhizobia. Proteins (termed effectors) secreted by this system are involved in host-range determination and influence nodulation efficiency.
