Identification and characterization of type III effector proteins in plant-associated bacteria

Creator:

Thomas, William J.

Abstract:

Symbioses between microbes and multicellular eukaryotes are found in all biomes, and encompass a spectrum of symbiotic lifestyles that includes parasitism and disease, commensalism, and mutually beneficial interdependent host-microbe relationships. Regardless of outcome, these symbiotic lifestyles are governed by a complex molecular "courtship" between microbe and potential host. This courtship...

Genome-enabled discovery and characterization of type III effector-encoding genes of plant symbiotic bacteria

Creator:

Kimbrel, Jeffrey A.

Abstract:

Symbiosis is the close and protracted interaction between organisms. The molecular interactions that occur during symbiosis are complex with multiple barriers that must be overcome. Many Gram-negative, host-associated bacteria use a type III secretion system to mediate associations with their eukaryotic hosts. This secretion system is a specialized apparatus for...
