'Candidatus liberibacter solanacearum' protein CKC_05770 interacts in vivo with tomato APX6 and APX7.

ABSTRACT: Pathogens have evolved mechanisms to manipulate their hosts to facilitate effective colonization and infection. One such mechanism involves the secretion of effectors that interfere with the host immune response. Effectors are typically secreted by dedicated secretion machinery that delivers the protein to the host cell. Liberibacters are intracellular bacterial pathogens that do not encode the typical secretion systems employed to secrete effectors; therefore, other mechanisms might be at play to allow Liberibacters to infect their hosts, such as the secretion of effectors via the sec-secretion system or via non-classical secretion systems. In this study, we datamined the genomes of five Liberibacter pathogens and identified from 66 to 102 putative non-classical secreted proteins encoded.
