Class: XopAL
Family: XopAL1
Prototype: XopAL (Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris 8004, gene XC_2995; xopXccE1; Jiang et al., 2009)
RefSeq ID: AAY50043.1 (332 aa)
3D structure: Unknown
XopAL was first identified in X. campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) strain 8004 as a candidate type III secreted (T3S)-effector due to the presence of a plant-inducible promoter (PIP) box in its gene, XC_2995 (Jiang et al., 2009).
Construction of a chimeric protein between the N-terminal region of XC_2995 (XopAL1) and a truncated AvrBS1 protein (AvrBS159-445). The chimeric gene was introduced by conjugation into Xcc8004 ∆AvrBS1 mutant or derivative of this strain mutated in hrpF or hpaB genes. The transconjugants were tested for HR elicitation on pepper ECW-10R (Jiang et al., 2009). These experiments suggest that the N-terminal part of XopAL1 is able to allow the translocation of the chimeric protein into pepper cells in an Hrp-dependent manner.
The expression of xopAL1 gene was shown to be positively regulated by hrpX (Jiang et al., 2009) and hrpG (Jiang et al., 2009; Roux et al., 2015). Presence of a PIP box (Jiang et al., 2009; Bogdanove et al., 2013; Roux et al., 2015).
XopAL1Xcc8004 is required for full virulence and growth of X. campestris pv. campestris in the host plant Chinese radish (Jiang et al., 2009).
