Abstract excerpt
Manganese ions (Mn(2+)) play a crucial role in virulence and protection against oxidative stress in bacterial pathogens. Such pathogens appear to have evolved complex mechanisms for regulating Mn(2+) uptake and efflux. Despite numerous studies on Mn(2+) uptake, however, only one efflux system has been identified to date. Here, we report on a novel Mn(2+) export system, YebN, in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae...
