Erwinia Chrysanthemi and Pseudomonas syringae: Plant Pathogens Trafficking in Extracellular Virulence Proteins

  • Chapter
Bacterial Pathogenesis of Plants and Animals

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology ((CT MICROBIOLOGY,volume 192))

Abstract

Extracellular proteins are primary weapons in the parasitic attack of bacteria on eukaryotic hosts. Virulence proteins released through accessory secretion pathways enable bacteria to acquire nutrients, invade host tissues, and defeat host defenses. Because of their general importance, these proteins and their secretion pathways provide efficient starting points in the molecular exploration of bacterial pathogenesis; and virulence protein traffic represents a common denominator in the study of bacterial pathogens of plants and animals. This is particularly true with gram-negative pathogens, which use broadly conserved components for the specific secretion of virulence proteins, and in some cases use remarkably similar modes of parasitic attack and virulence protein deployment. Consequently, researchers exploring pathogens of one eukaryotic kingdom now are looking with increasing interest at work on pathogens of the other kingdom.
