Abstract

Extracellular proteins of plant and animal bacteria are important in virulence. Many of these are secreted through the type I sec-independent and the type II sec-dependent pathways. Recently, a third distinct pathway, involved in secretion of Yops, has been discovered in Yersinia. This pathway has homology with pathways in plant pathogenic bacteria that are putatively involved in the secretion of proteins active on plant cells, such as harpin and possibly some avr gene products.

      Citation Excerpt :

      Many molecular determinants encoding various functions conditioning adaptation to hosts and pathogenesis of R. solanacearum have been described and functionally characterized, for reviews see [2–4]. Among them, the Type III secretion system (T3SS) was early shown to play an essential role in pathogenicity as the corresponding mutants were avirulent on host plants [5]. The T3SS delivers bacterial proteins, so-called Type III effectors, into the cytosol of eukaryotic cells [6] and is now recognized as a pathogenicity hallmark in many Gram-negative bacteria, although its role extends in some cases beyond pathogenesis [7,8].

      Citation Excerpt :

      Often assembled into genomic islands, laterally transferred genes are present in the vast majority of pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria and frequently encode functions involved in microbial adaptation [3]. One function identified first in animal and plant pathogens [4] is the direct translocation of proteins from the bacterial cytosol into host cells, carried out by the type III secretion system (T3SS) [5]. This family of secretion machines directs the assembly of surface appendages such as flagella and type III needles for injecting effector proteins into host cells.
