Dimerization of VirD2 binding protein is essential for Agrobacterium induced tumor formation in plants.

Dimerization of VirD2 binding protein is essential for Agrobacterium induced tumor formation in plants.

The Type IV Secretion System (T4SS) is the only bacterial secretion system known to translocate both DNA and protein substrates. The VirB/D4 system from Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a typical T4SS. It facilitates the bacteria to translocate the VirD2-T-DNA complex to the host cell cytoplasm. In addi...
