Type III secretion systems (T3SSs) are protein transport nanomachines that are found in
Gram-negative bacterial pathogens and symbionts. Resembling molecular syringes, T3SSs …

Plant pathogenic bacteria of the genus Xanthomonas cause a variety of diseases in
economically important monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous crop plants worldwide …

The virulence factor database (VFDB, http://www. mgc. ac. cn/VFs/) is devoted to providing
the scientific community with a comprehensive warehouse and online platform for …

Motivation: PSORTb has remained the most precise bacterial protein subcellular localization
(SCL) predictor since it was first made available in 2003. However, the recall needs to be …

Eukaryotic filamentous plant pathogens secrete effector proteins that modulate the host cell
to facilitate infection. Computational effector candidate identification and subsequent …

Flagellar and translocation-associated type III secretion (T3S) systems are present in most
Gram-negative plant-and animal-pathogenic bacteria and are often essential for bacterial …

Pathogenicity of most Gram-negative plant-pathogenic bacteria depends on the type III
secretion (T3S) system, which translocates bacterial effector proteins into plant cells. Type III …

The flagellum and the injectisome are two of the most complex and fascinating bacterial
nanomachines. At their core, they share a type III secretion system (T3SS), a transmembrane …

Many gram-negative plant and animal pathogenic bacteria employ a type III secretion
system (T3SS) to subvert and colonize their respective host organisms. The T3SS injects …

Effectors play a central role in determining the outcome of plant− pathogen interactions. As
key virulence proteins, effectors are collectively indispensable for disease development. By …
