Mechanistic Analysis of the VirA Sensor Kinase in Agrobacterium tumefaciens Using Structural Models

Agrobacterium tumefaciens pathogenesis of plants is initiated with signal reception and culminates with transforming the genomic DNA of its host. The histidine sensor kinase VirA receives and reacts to discrete signaling molecules for the full induction of the genes necessary for this process. Thoug...
