The type III secretion (T3S) system, an essential pathogenicity factor in most Gram-negative plant-pathogenic bacteria, injects bacterial effector proteins directly into the plant cell cytosol. Here, the type III effectors (T3Es) manipulate host cell processes to suppress defence and establish appropriate conditions for bacterial multiplication in the intercellular spaces of the plant tissue. T3E export depends on a secretion signal which is also present in 'non-effectors'. The latter are secret ...[more]
