Type II secretion in Xanthomonas euvesicatoria is required for infection and is linked to T2S-dependent depletion of galacturonic acid during tomato apoplast colonization.
- Why it matters: Although T2S is conserved across the Xanthomonas lineage, how it shapes secreted effector repertoires and host interactions remains unclear, limiting understanding of disease mechanisms.
- What they did: They quantified plant cell wall composition during X. euvesicatoria infection and used in planta label-free proteomics to identify two known and 20 new Xe T2Es in tomato apoplast.
- The result: In vitro, T2S supports utilization of plant cell wall polysaccharides and proteins by X. euvesicatoria, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines, and Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, while protease repertoires diversify across strains.
