Abstract excerpt
Surface proteins play an important role in phytoplasma life cycle. The antigenic membrane protein (AMP) of 'Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris' has been shown to interact with the insect microfilaments. Due to the synteny of the groL-amp-nadE genetic locus between phytoplasma genomes, the gene stamp that encodes the antigenic membrane protein of stolbur phytoplasma has been cloned and characterized. It encodes a 157...
