Identification of<i>Pseudomonas syringae</i>pv. syringae 61 Type III Secretion System Hrp Proteins That Can Travel the Type III Pathway and Contribute to the Translocation of Effector Proteins into Plant Cells

Abstract

Pseudomonas syringae translocates effector proteins into plant cells via an Hrp1 type III secretion system (T3SS). T3SS components HrpB, HrpD, HrpF, and HrpP were shown to be pathway substrates and to contribute to elicitation of the plant hypersensitive response and to translocation and secretion of the model effector AvrPto1.
