- | 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).

Importin alpha (Szurek //et al.//, 2001) interacts with the nuclear localization sequences of AvrBs3. The basal transcription factor IIA, gamma subunit from rice interacts with a region in the C-terminal domain of TALEs (Yuan //et al//., 2016) and similar interactions might be possible for AvrBs3, too. AvrBs3 and the TALE-family of effectors bind to DNA (Kay //et al//., 2007; Römer //et al//., 2007) with their N-terminal domain exhibiting general DNA-binding properties (Gao //et al.//, 2012) and the repeat region facilitating specific interaction to DNA bases (Boch //et al//., 2009; Moscou & Bogdanove, 2009). | Importin alpha (Szurek //et al.//, 2001) interacts with the nuclear localization sequences of AvrBs3.
