WtsE, an AvrE-Family Effector Protein from Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii, Causes Disease-Associated Cell Death in Corn and Requires a Chaperone Protein for Stability

The pathogenicity of Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii to sweet corn and maize requires a Hrp type III secretion system. In this study, we genetically and functionally characterized a disease-specific (Dsp) effector locus, composed of wtsE and wtsF, that is adjacent to the hrp gene cluster. WtsE, a...
