Abstract excerpt
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, the bacterial blight pathogen of rice, secretes a number of effectors through a type 3 secretion system. One of these effectors, called XopQ, is required for virulence and suppression of rice innate immune responses induced by the plant cell-wall-degrading enzyme lipase/esterase A (LipA). Bioinformatic analysis suggested that XopQ is homologous to inosine-uridine nucleoside...
