Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, the causative agent of bacterial speck disease of tomato, uses a type III secretion system (TTSS) to deliver effector proteins into the host cell. In resistant plants, the bacterial effector protein AvrPto physically interacts with the host Pto kinase and elicits antibacterial defense responses. In susceptible plants, which lack the Pto kinase, AvrPto acts as a virulence...
Background: Epoxide hydrolases have important roles in the defense of cells against potentially harmful epoxides. Conversion of epoxides into less toxic and more easily excreted diols is a universally successful strategy. A number of microorganisms employ the same chemistry to process epoxides for use as carbon sources.Results: The X-ray structure of the epoxide hydrolase from Aspergillus niger was...
Background: The fungal oxidoreductase cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) degrades both lignin and cellulose, and is the only known extracellular flavocytochrome. This haemoflavoenzyme has a multidomain organisation with a b-type cytochrome domain linked to a large flavodehydrogenase domain. The two domains can be separated proteolytically to yield a functional cytochrome and a flavodehydrogenase. Here,...
