Abstract

The Gram-negative phytopathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris recruits the hrp/T3SS system to inject pathogenicity effector proteins into host cells and uses the rpf/DSF cell-cell signaling system to regulate the expression of virulence factors such as extracellular enzymes and polysaccharide. Whether these two systems have any connection is unknown. Positive regulator candidates affecting hrpX expression were identified by sacB strategy. The transcriptional expression was determined by qRT-PCR and GUS activity analysis. Transcriptome analysis was performed by RNA deep-sequencing. The hypersensitive response (HR) was determined in the nonhost plant pepper ECW-10R and electrolyte leakage assay. Mutation of the gene encoding the sensor RpfC of the rpf/DSF system significantly reduced the expression of hrpX, the key regulator of the hrp/T3SS system, all of the genes in the hrp cluster and most reported type III effector genes. Mutation of rpfG did not affect the expression of hrpX. The rpfC mutant showed a delayed and weakened HR induction. RpfC positively regulates the expression of hrpX independent of RpfG, showing a complex regulatory network linking the rpf/DSF and hrp/T3SS systems.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 September 2018.
All research outputs
#15,018,183
of 23,102,082 outputs
Outputs from BMC Microbiology
#1,614
of 3,217 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#200,743
of 335,675 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Microbiology
#26
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,102,082 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,217 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 335,675 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 58 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
