Consequences of adaptation of TAL effectors on host susceptibility to Xanthomonas.
PLoS genetics - 1 Jan 2021
Teper Doron, Wang Nian
Abstract excerpt
Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are virulence factors of Xanthomonas that induce the expression of host susceptibility (S) genes by specifically binding to effector binding elements (EBEs) in their promoter regions. The DNA binding specificity of TALEs is dictated by their tandem repeat regions, which are highly variable between different TALEs. Mutation of the EBEs of S genes is being utilized as...
