Identification of an extracellular infection-induced glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase of the phytopathogenic proteobacterium <i>Pseudomonas syringae</i> pv tomato DC3000
Abstract:According to molecular biology, genomic and proteomic data, the phytopathogenic gamma-proteobacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 produces a number of proteins that may promote infection and draw nutrients from plants. Remarkably, P. syringae DC3000 strain possesses three paralogous gap genes encoding glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) enzymes with different predicted molecular sizes and metabolic functions. As GAPDH was shown to be a virulence factor in other microbial pathogens, in t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
