Regulatory interactions between the Hrp type III protein secretion system and coronatine biosynthesis in Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000.

Journal article

In P. syringae, the co-ordinated regulation of different systems required for pathogenicity and virulence seems logical but has not been established. This question was addressed in the present study by analysing production of the phytotoxin coronatine (COR) in defined hrp/hrc mutants of P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000. COR was produced in vitro by mutants of DC3000 defective in hrcC, which encodes an outer-membrane protein required for type III-mediated secretion. When inoculated in plants, hrc...
