TheXanthomonastype-III effector protein XopS stabilizesCaWRKY40a to regulate defense hormone responses and preinvasion immunity in pepper (Capsicum annuum)
Abstract:A critical component of plant immunity against invading pathogens is the rapid transcriptional reprogramming of the attacked cell to minimize virulence. Many adapted plant bacterial pathogens use type III effector (T3E) proteins to interfere with plant defense responses, including the induction of immunity genes. The elucidation of effector function is essential to understanding bacterial pathogenesis. Here, we show that XopS, a T3E of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv), interacts with and inhibits t… Show more
