A critical role of sux cistron-mediated sucrose uptake for virulence of the rice blight pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae

Nora R. Zöllner, Juying Long, Congfeng Song…·Wolf Bernd Frommer

This study identifies the sux gene cluster in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae as essential for sucrose uptake, which supports bacterial growth, motility, biofilm formation, and virulence in rice.

The Paulinella chromatophore transit peptide part2 adopts a structural fold similar to the γ-glutamyl-cyclotransferase fold

Victoria Klimenko, Jens Reiners, Violetta M. Applegate…·Eva C. M. Nowack

The paper determines the structure of crTPpart2 from two chromatophore-targeted proteins, revealing a fold similar to γ-glutamyl-cyclotransferase and suggesting its role in protein import.
