Zinc binding proteome of a phytopathogen Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa.

ABSTRACT: Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa (Xtu) is a proteobacteria which causes bacterial leaf streak (BLS) or bacterial chaff disease in wheat and barley. The constant competition for zinc (Zn) metal nutrients contributes significantly in plant-pathogen interactions. In this study, we have employed a systematic in silico approach to study the Zn-binding proteins of Xtu. From the whole proteome of Xtu, we have identified approximately 7.9% of proteins having Zn-binding sequence and structural motifs. Further, 115 proteins were found homologous to plant-pathogen interaction database. Among these 115 proteins, 11 were predicted as putative secretory proteins. The functional diversity in Zn-binding proteins was revealed by functional domain, gene o
