Abstract excerpt
The black rot pathogen Xanthomonas campestris utilizes molecules of the diffusible signal factor (DSF) family as signals to regulate diverse processes contributing to virulence. DSF signal synthesis and transduction requires proteins encoded by the rpf gene cluster. RpfF catalyzes DSF synthesis, whereas the RpfCG two-component system links the perception of DSF to alteration in the level of the second messenger...
