Abstract excerpt
Erwinia chrysanthemi causes soft rot of plants by secreting pectinases which cleave pectin, a polysaccharide cementing the plant cell wall constituents. We demonstrated that two transporters mediate the uptake of the extracellularly formed oligomers in E. chrysanthemi. TogMNAB, a multicomponent transporter member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily, is only partially responsible for the uptake of pectic...
