Abstract excerpt
Erwinia amylovora is responsible for fire blight, a necrotic disease of apples and pears. E. amylovora relies on a type III secretion system (TTSS) to induce disease on hosts and hypersensitive response (HR) on nonhost plants. The DspA/E protein is essential for E. amylovora pathogenicity and is secreted via the TTSS in vitro. DspA/E belongs to a type III effector family that is conserved in several...
