Journal ArticleDOI

Marcel Salanoubat,Stéphane Genin,François Artiguenave,Jérôme Gouzy,Sophie Mangenot,Matthieu Arlat,A. Billault,Philippe Brottier,J. C. Camus,Laurence Cattolico,Michael Chandler,Nathalie Choisne,C. Claudel-Renard,Sébastien Cunnac,N. Demange,Christine Gaspin,M. Lavie,Annick Moisan,Cedric Robert,William Saurin,Thomas Schiex,Patricia Siguier,Patricia Thebault,M. Whalen,M.

TL;DR: The complete genome sequence and its analysis of strain GMI1000 suggests that bacterial plant pathogens and animal pathogens harbour distinct arrays of specialized type III-dependent effectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical interaction between RRS1-R, a protein conferring resistance to bacterial wilt, and PopP2, a type III effector targeted to the plant nucleus.
Laurent Deslandes,Jocelyne Olivier,Nemo Peeters,Dong Xin Feng,Manirath Khounlotham,Christian Boucher,Imre E. Somssich,Stéphane Genin,Yves Marco +8 more
TL;DR: RRS1-R confers broad-spectrum resistance to several strains of the causal agent of bacterial wilt, Ralstonia solanacearum, and it is demonstrated that both the Avr protein and the RRS1 proteins colocalize in the nucleus and that the nuclear localization of the R RS1 proteins are dependent on the presence of PopP2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transposon Mutagenesis of Pseudomonas solanacearum: Isolation of Tn5-Induced Avirulent Mutants
TL;DR: Transposon mutagenesis in a tomato isolate of Pseudomonas solanacearum (strain Kourou) is reported, using Tn7 and Tn5 inserted in suicide conjugative plasmids, allowing isolation of auxotrophic mutants with a frequency of 035%.
Journal ArticleDOI
PopA1, a Protein Which Induces a Hypersensitivity-Like Response on Specific Petunia Genotypes, Is Secreted via the Hrp Pathway of Pseudomonas Solanacearum
TL;DR: A popA mutant remained fully pathogenic on sensitive plants, indicating that this gene is not essential for pathogenicity, and this mutant, which remained avirulent on tobacco and on resistant Petunia lines, still produced additional extracellular necrogenic compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unified nomenclature for broadly conserved hrp genes of phytopathogenic bacteria
Adam J. Bogdanove,Steven V. Beer,Ulla Bonas,Christian Boucher,Alan Collmer,D. L. Coplin,Guy R. Cornelis,Hsiou-Chen Huang,Steven W. Hutcheson,Nickolas J. Panopoulos,F. Van Gijsegem +10 more
TL;DR: It has been shown directly that various extracellular proteins involved in pathogenesis and defence elicitation by plantpathogenic bacteria utilize this pathway, and the pathway is known to function in the export of virulence factors from the animal pathogens.
