Abstract excerpt
Agrobacterium tumefaciens uses a type IV secretion system to deliver oncogenic nucleoprotein particles and effector proteins, such as the multifunctional VirE2 protein, to plant cells. In this study, we examined the function of virE1 and its product, the VirE1 secretion chaperone, in mediating VirE2 export. A nonpolar virE1 null mutant accumulated low levels of VirE2, and trans expression of virE1 in this mutant...
