Contact-Dependent Growth Inhibition Proteins in Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1
Bacterial contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) systems are
two-partner secretion systems in which toxic CdiA proteins are exported
on the outer membrane by cognate transporter CdiB protein...
Effect of five antimicrobial peptides on the growth of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Escherichia coli and Xylella fastidiosa
Five lytic peptides, cecropin A (CA), cecropin B (CB), magainin I (MI), magainin II (MII) and Shiva-1 (a synthetic analog of CB), were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against Escherichia...
Inhibition of Xylella fastidiosa polygalacturonase to produce Pierce's disease resistant grapevines
Polygalacturonases (PG) (EC 3.2.1.15), catalyze the random hydrolysis of 1, 4-alpha-D-galactosiduronic linkages in pectate and other galacturonans. Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) possesses a single PG gen...
Synthesis of Deoxyradicinin, an Inhibitor of Xylella fastidiosa and Liberibacter crescens, a Culturable Surrogate for Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus
Pierce's disease of grapevine and citrus huanglongbing are caused by the bacterial pathogens Xylella fastidiosa and Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), respectively. Both pathogens reside w...
The crystal structure of the cysteine protease Xylellain from Xylella fastidiosa reveals an intriguing activation mechanism
Xylella fastidiosa is responsible for a wide range of economically important plant diseases. We report here the crystal structure and kinetic data of Xylellain, the first cysteine protease characte...
