TAL effectors target the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II (CTD) by inhibiting the prolyl-isomerase activity of a CTD-associated cyclophilin.

Transcriptional activator-like (TAL) effectors of plant pathogenic bacteria function as transcription factors in plant cells. However, how TAL effectors control transcription in the host is presently unknown. Previously, we showed that TAL effectors of the citrus canker pathogen Xanthomonas citri, n...
