Small protein-mediated quorum sensing in a Gram-negative bacterium.

The rice XA21 pattern recognition receptor binds a type I secreted sulfated peptide, called axY(S)22, derived from the Ax21 (activator of XA21-mediated immunity) protein. The conservation of Ax21 in all sequenced Xanthomonas spp. and closely related genera suggests that Ax21 serves a key biological...
