AvrBs3, as well as other members of the TALE family, function as specific transcription factors in plant cells. These proteins bind to specific sequences in promoters and induce expression of downstream genes. The DNA-binding specificity is encoded in the order of individual 34-amino acid repeats which each recognize one DNA base. Different TALEs typically contain different repeats and accordingly bind to different DNA sequences and target different host genes. The contributions of individual TALEs to virulence can thus be quite diverse. | AvrBs3, as well as other members of the TALE family, function as specific transcription factors in plant cells.

- | Expression analysis using gene promoter fusion and western blot analysis demonstrated that //avrBs3// was expressed and resulted in a 122 kDa protein (1164 aa) which was detectable using a specific polyclonal antibody (Bonas //et al//., 1989). The AvrBs3 effector protein elicits two different types of responses in resistant or susceptible plants. In susceptible pepper plants (Early Cal Wonder; ECW), hypertrophy (i.e. enlargement of mesophyll cells) is triggered by AvrBs3 (Bonas //et al//., 1989; Bonas //et al//., 1991; Marois //et al//., 2002). // | + | Expression analysis using gene promoter fusion and western blot analysis demonstrated that //avrBs3// was expressed and resulted in a 122 kDa protein (1164 aa) which was detectable using a specific polyclonal antibody (Bonas //et al//., 1989).

In resistant pepper plants, the promoter of //Bs3// contains a //UPA// box that is bound by AvrBs3 resulting in the transcription of the gene //Bs3//. //Bs3// encodes a protein that is homologous to flavine-dependent mono-oxygenases (Römer //et al//., 2007) and its expression causes rapid cell death thus preventing the spread of the pathogen (Bonas //et al//., 1989; Bonas //et al//., 1991). | In resistant pepper plants, the promoter of //Bs3// contains a //UPA// box that is bound by AvrBs3 resulting in the transcription of the gene //Bs3//. //Bs3// encodes a protein that is homologous to flavine-dependent mono-oxygenases (Römer //et al//., 2007) and its expression causes rapid cell death thus preventing the spread of the pathogen (Bonas //et al//., 1989; Bonas //et al//., 1991). | ||

The //avrBs3// gene is localized on pXV11, a self-transmissible plasmid, and was initially isolated from //Xcv// strain 71-21 (Bonas //et al//., 1989). Using complementation of //Xcv// strain 85-10 (virulent on pepper ECW-30R), a 5-kb fragment including //avrBs3// was discovered (Bonas //et al//., 1989). | The //avrBs3// gene is localized on pXV11, a self-transmissible plasmid, and was initially isolated from //Xcv// strain 71-21 (Bonas //et al//., 1989).
