Prototype: XopAL (//Xanthomonas// campestris pv. //campestris// 8004, gene //XC_2995; xopXccE1//; Jiang //et al//., 2009)\\
RefSeq ID: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/AAY50043.1|AAY50043.1]] (332 aa)\\
3D structure: Unknown

===== Biological function =====

=== How discovered? ===

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).
=== (Experimental) evidence for being a type III secreted effector (T3E) ===

Construction of a chimeric protein between the N-terminal region of XC_2995 (XopAL1) and a truncated AvrBS1 protein (AvrBS1<sub>59-445</sub>). 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.
=== Regulation ===

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).
=== Phenotypes ===

XopAL1<sub>Xcc8004</sub> is required for full virulence and growth of //X. campestris// pv. //campestris// in the host plant Chinese radish (Jiang //et al.//, 2009).
=== Localization ===
