Immunomodulation by the Pseudomonas syringae HopZ type III effector family in Arabidopsis.
Pseudomonas syringae employs a type III secretion system to inject 20-30 different type III effector (T3SE) proteins into plant host cells.A major role of T3SEs is to suppress plant immune responses and promote bacterial infection.The YopJ/HopZ acetyltransferases are a superfamily of T3SEs found in both plant and animal pathogenic bacteria.In P.syr
